Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland doesn't generate enough thyroid hormone. Meteorin like protein (Metrnl) a tiny secreted protein, regulates cell differentiation, survival, and migration in several organs. Aim of study: The purpose of this research was to see whether serum Metrnl levels might be used as a biomarker for hypothyroidism complication. Materials and Methods: This case-control study comprised 90 individuals ranging in age from 20 to 50 years. These people were separated into three groups: those with overt hypothyroidism (OH), those with subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH), and those who were healthy. sex, age, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), and hormonal indicators were all assessed and recorded for each participant. Results: serum Metrnl levels were considerably lower in hypothyroid patients compared to those with normal thyroid function (p 0.001). Furthermore, Metrnl levels were negatively connected with TSH levels (r =-0.32, p 0.041) and favorably correlated with T4 levels (r =0.303, p 0.040).. Conclusion : Serum Metrnl levels may be a biomarker for hypothyroidism detection and monitoring. The research excluded systemic disorders and pharmaceutical usage to ensure accuracy. Thus serum Metrnl levels may be useful clinical tools for hypothyroidism identification and monitoring.
