Background: Haemostaticab normalities were associated with hyper
thyrodism patients. This study aimed to assess the D-dimer levels which
indicate the hypercoagulable state in Sudanese patients with hyper thyrodism. Material
and Methods: A descriptive analytical case study was conducted in faculty of
medical laboratory science, Alneelain University, Khartoum, Sudan. A total of
80 participants were selected for this study, 40 of them were patient known
diagnosed by hyperthyroidism as a test group; 20 (50%) were female and 20 (50%)
were male; their mean age 36.3 years. Other 40 participants were normal healthy
individual as control group. The plasma D-dimer level was measured by using
semi-automated coagulometer (MISPA-i2Reagent-SWITZERLAND). Data were analyzed
by using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) Version 20. Results: In
this study, the plasma D-dimer level has statistically significantly higher in
hyperthyroidism patient compared to normal healthy control group (mean ¡À SD 0.5008
¡À 0.239 vs. 0.5 ¡À 0.618 mg/dl with P value 0.00), respectively. Conclusions:
The present study revealed that the D-dimer levels were statistically
significant higher in hyper thyroid patients.
