Of all the endocrinopathies, thyroid diseases are nowadays very common (Jorge et al, 2005). In this work it was studied the relationship between thyroxin, cholesterol and glucose, in a hospitalar environment. It was observed that a considerable percentage of individuals had hypothyroidism.This study also suggests that cholesterol decreases with the increase of free thyroxine and, in contrast, the glucose increases with the increase of free thyroxine.
