Hormonal profile peculiarities on pancreatic, thyroid and suprarenal hormones in nigeria

Abstract

Approximately 4,5% of Nigerians had diabetes mellitus in 2019 (O.Oguejiofor et al., 2019). Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus comprises only less than 3% of all the patients, had double increase from 2019th values and showed 21,7% of people (M.Adeyemi Olamoyegun et al., 2024), approximately 3,9 mln in 2019 and will be almost 6 mln by 2045 by forecasting (C.E. Nwator et al., 2024). Mostly Nigerian people between 41 and 60 years get sick (O.O.Adevumi et al., 2022). Elevating in fasting blood glucose and glycosylated Hb more than 6,5% are met rather often in Nigeria whiledefining latent and even non-hidden diabetes mellitus, especially in urban populations (C.N. Okafor et al., 2021). Thyroid diseases take the second position among endocrinopathies worldwide as a whole and in Nigeria particularly with a rate of hyperthyreoidism approximately 60% and hypothyreoidism 40% (E.N.Okafor et al., 2019; B.T.Abera et al., 2021), euthyreoid goiter 53% and subclinical hyperthyreoidism 1-2% (J.O. Edah et al., 2023). Thyroid insufficiency impacts onto carbohydrate metabolism at insulin-independent diabetes mellitus at a greater extent than in people without diabetic mellitus (A.K. Jimoh et al., 2022). Water purifiers can disturb iodine capture by thyroid gland (G.Lisko et al., 2020). Nigerian females get sick on Graves’ disease at a greater extent than males (E.N.Okafor et al., 2019), even with ratio 5:1 on it (A.O. Ogbera et al., 2024) and 20:1 on all thyroid problems (J.O. Edah et al., 2023). Adrenal insufficiency has not only acquired but inheritant character (T.R.P.Mofokeng et al., 2022). Approximately 30-32% of the patients were reported to have low baseline serum cortisol level (I.E.Akase et al., 2019). Cushing’s syndrome was reported to be in adolescent girls (A.E.Edo et al., 2022), adult females (R.Mumini et al., 2024) with female:male ratio 4-5:1 (K.A.A. Abolanle et al., 2020), more seldom morbidity in children. As a whole, it is considered to be met relatively rarely in Nigerian population (R.Mumini et al., 2024).
