This
study aimed to investigate the effect of occupational exposures to long term
low-dose ionizing radiation on blood serum lipid and thyroid hormone levels of the
radiology workers. Private and state
hospitals at Kütahya centrum age range of working group was 21-48 with average
age of 33.86 years (24 for women and 22 for men) 46 working in the department of radiology were enrolled to this study. In
the control group the age range was 22-29 with average age of 33.83 years (20
for women and 18 for men) but control group has not exposed to radiation. Total cholesterol,
triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol levels were significantly higher
(p<0.05), HDL-cholesterol levels were lower in the radiology workers
compared to the control group. FT3 and FT4 levels were significantly lower
(p<0.05), TSH levels were higher. In radiology workers were determined
exposed to long-term low-dose ionizing radiation, blood cholesterol levels were higher. FT3 and FT4 levels were lower, TSH levels were
higher.

DÜŞÜK DOZ İYONİZE RADYASYONUN RADYOLOJİ ÇALIŞANLARININ TİROİD HORMONLARI VE SERUM KOLESTEROL SEVİYELERİ ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ

Öz

Mesleki olarak iyonize radyasyona uzun süre maruz kalan radyoloji
çalışanlarında, uzun süreli düşük doz iyonize radyasyonun, kan serum lipid ve
tiroid hormon düzeylerine etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlandı. Kütahya merkezdeki devlet ve özel hastanelerinde
yaşları 21-48 (33,71 ± 7,88 yıl) 
arasında değişen 24’ü kadın ve 22’si erkek toplam 46 radyoloji departmanı
çalışanı çalışmamıza dahil edildi. Kontrol grubu radyasyona maruz kalmayan yaşları
22-49 (33,42 ± 6,12)
20’si kadın 18’i erkek 38 sağlıklı kişiden oluşturuldu. Kontrol grubuyla
kıyaslandığında radyoloji çalışanlarında; total kolesterol, trigliserid ve
LDL-kolesterol düzeylerinin anlamlı olarak yüksek olduğu HDL-kolestrol düzeylerinin anlamlı olmamakla birlikte
düşük olduğu saptandı. Tiroid fonksiyonları bakımından da FT3 ve FT4 düzeylerinin
anlamlı derecede düşük olduğu, TSH düzeylerinin anlamlı olmasa da yüksek olduğu
saptandı. Uzun dönem düşük
doz iyonize radyasyona maruz kalan radyoloji çalışanlarında, kan kolesterol
düzeylerinin yükseldiği tespit edilmiştir. FT3 ve FT4 düzeylerinin düştüğü, TSH
düzeylerinin yükseldiği tespit edilmiştir.
