Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship of thyroid hormone (TH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and blood calcium in hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP) patients. Methods Fifty patients with HLAP were selected, among whom 37 patients with mild acute pancreatitis (MAP) were enrolled into MAP group, and 13 patients with moderately severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP) were enrolled into MSAP group. The albumin, blood glucose, creatinine, blood lipids, blood calcium, free tri-iodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4) and TSH levels were measured and analyzed. Results The blood calcium, FT3 and TSH levels in MAP group were significantly higher than those in MSAP group:(2.02 ± 0.26) mmol/L vs. (1.75 ± 0.27) mmol/L, (1.88 ± 0.46) ng/L vs. (1.52 ± 0.35) ng/L and (0.28 ± 0.20) mU/L vs. (0.17 ± 0.12) mU/L, but the blood glucose and triglycerides (TG) levels were significantly lower than those in MSAP group: (13.36 ± 5.83) mmol/L vs. (19.99 ± 7.97) mmol/L and (24.01±12.46) mmol/L vs. (34.76 ± 20.39) mmol/L, and there were statistical differences (P<0.01 or<0.05). There were no statistical differences in albumin, creatinine, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and FT4 levels between 2 groups (P>0.05). The correlation analysis result showed: in patients with HLAP, TSH and albumin had a positive correlation with blood calcium (r=0.344 and 0.372, P=0.014 and 0.008), LDL-C and TG had negative correlation with blood calcium (r=-0.315 and-0.444, P=0.026 and 0.001), and other indexes had no correlation with blood calcium (P>0.05). Conclusions Blood calcium, FT3 and TSH levels are decreased with severity of HLAP. Decreased blood calcium may be one of reasons for decreased TSH in HLAP patients.
