Background: This study was planned to reveal the effect of propylthiouracil treatment on CD40, hs-CRP and Fetuin-A levels of subjects with subclinical hyperthyroidism.

Material and methods: After checking CD40, hs-CRP and Fetuin-A levels of 35 patients with subclinical hyperthyroidism, they were given 50 mg of propylthiouracil tablet (thrice daily). After the 3-month administration, CD40, hs-CRP and Fetuin-A levels were then compared to the levels before treatment.

Results: While hs-CRP and CD40 levels were found normal compared to the healthy controls in SHE patients, Fetuin-A levels were statistically significantly higher (*P=0.022). After the treatment, Fetuin-A levels of SHE patients decreased statistically significantly compared to the levels before treatment (**P=0.026). CD40 and hs-CRP levels did not revealed a statistically significantly difference compared to the control group and post levothyroxine treatment.

Conclusion: High Fetuin-A levels before propylthiouracil treatment and decrease in these levels after treatment in cases with subclinical hyperthyroidism indicated the possibility of preventing long-term cardiac complications with propylthiouracil treatment.

Key words: CD40, hs-CRP, Fetuin-A, subclinic hyperthyroidism.
