Patients and Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, we screened 25040 suspicious cases of thyroid diseases in a year (2019), retrieving the data from the computer of three clinical laboratories in the Duhok City; following exclusion of 470 cases, 24568 cases were included to categorize the different types of thyroid dysfunctions. Results: The prevalence of TSH alteration was 25.03%, 20.55% of them had a high concentration being statistically higher in females, while only 4.48% was low TSH with equal prevalence among both sexes. Out of 24568 patients, the prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism was 94.85%, followed by 2.20%, 1.20%, 0.78%, 0.67%, and 0.31% for each of subclinical hyperthyroidism, primary hypothyroidism, central hyperthyroidism, central hypothyroidism, and primary hyperthyroidism respectively. Conclusions: The studied population had high prevalence of high TSH level (20.55%), being more prevalent in female than in male. Our survey revealed that the distribution of thyroid disorders was vary among different age groups with highest prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism in all age groups (94.85%); Also, we concluded that middle & advanced ages, and females were more susceptible to thyroid disorders.
