Background: The pandemic has led to the development of strange and inexplicable disorders in various organs and systems, which do not fit into the existing standard of diagnosis and treatment of the disease. This was especially reflected in the metabolism of the thyroid gland. The aim of the study was to study the metabolism and changes of thyroid hormones in post-covid patients. (The study includes the results of two clinics)

Materials and Methods: In the post-covid period, from January 2021 to December 2022, 450 patients were examined. Normal age is from 18 to 65 years. 350 of them are women and 100 are men. In 47 cases, strange disorders of the metabolism of thyroid hormones were detected. These patients were separated into a new group. Demographic data of patients: age, gender, diagnosis. The level of TSH, Ft4, anti-TSH receptors was also evaluated.

Results and discussion: The data of 47 primary patients were studied within the framework of the study. Average 18 to 55 years old, 18 men and 36 women. Ultrasound, all patients had shown thyroid volume normal or hypoplasia, without structural changes. Covid-19 were infected with all of them and had been vaccinated with various vaccines. TSH of patients ranged from 0.1 to 1.3 (norm 0.5 to 5.0 mIU/l) Ft4 to 0.9 to 1.2 (0.7 to 1.9 ng/dL). Anti-TSHR ---- TRAb: 1.78-1.89 (norm<1.75 IU/l)

Conclusion: Research questions: 1. Is this the real Graves? 2. Is it the impact of covid? 3. Should antithyroid treatment be prescribed?
