Thyroid profile consisting of Free T4 , Total T4,TSH levels were done if there was suspicion of hypothyroidism and Free T3 and TSH if there was suspicion of hyperthyroidism. Other investigations like USG thyroid, thyroid 99m technetium scan anti TPO and anti TG antibody levels were done to look for the etiological diagnosis. Appropriate treatment was started according to standard guidelines. Results- Out of 252, 35 children were found to have thyroid dysfunction, 34 were having hypothyroidism and 01 was having hyperthyroidism. Overall male to female ratio in our study was 1:4.
