Introduction: Hypothyroidism is a state of hypometabolism at the origin of numerous metabolic disturbances, including dyslipidemia, which may increase cardiovascular risk in these patients. The aim of our study is to assess the lipid profile in patients with peripheral hypothyroidism.

Materials and methods: Retrospective descriptive study including 130 patients, followed at the Endocrinology-Diabetology and Nutrition Department of the University Hospital of Oujda for peripheral hypothyroidism. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 21 software.

Results: The mean age was 46.15±18.6 years, with an F/M sex ratio of 2.9, the mean TSH value at discovery was 21.84 mu/ml, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis was the most frequent cause 63.2%.33% of patients had hypothyroidism of frust origin Dyslipidemia was noted in 44.6% of our patients, represented essentially by hypertriglyceridemia in 55.6%, hypercholesterolemia in 39.2%, hypoHDLemia in 31.8%, hyperLDLemia the least frequent abnormality (24%). Dyslipidemia was noted in 54.6% of patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and in 34% of patients with hypothyroidism of frust origin.

Discussion-Conclusion: Hypothyroidism is often associated with dyslipidemia, this atherogenic lipid profile must be systematically detected when this pathology is diagnosed, and reassessed after treatment to prevent cardiovascular complications.
