Objective: To assess the relation between types of thyroid diseases with types of anemia. Methods: This prospective study of 123 cases of patients with different thyroid goiters. The blood samples were collected and complete blood count was done for them, each patient with low PCV (<35%) the blood film was done for them to classify the type of anemia. Surgical operation thyroidectomy, paraffin block and hematoxylin and eosin stain was performed, the slides assess and read by pathologist to classify the thyroid goiter to (thyroiditis, thyroid tumor, multinodular goiter) other the causes of anemia are excluded by history like (vaginal bleeding, gastric bleeding, hemorrhoid).
Results: Among 123patients, 84 patients with thyroid diseases without anemia, 39 patients with thyroid diseases had anemia, 21 patients with thyroid diseases had iron deficiency anemia, 18 patients with thyroid diseases had anemia of chronic diseases.
Conclusion: Most common type of anaemia in different thyroid diseases is iron deficiency anaemia (IDA), the common age group of anaemia and thyroid diseases is middle age (40-49) years. The female incidence of anemia and thyroid diseases is more in female than male and the multinodular goiter (MNG) is the common thyroid diseases.
