The goal of this clinical trial is to study the improvement of lipid levels in hypothyroid individuals after staring treatment.
The main question it aims to answer is:
• whether adding Vitamin D to standard therapy has any additional benefits
Participants will be given Vitamin D in replacement doses according to their pre-existing Vitamin D level in addition to levothyroxine.
Researchers will compare them with another group receiving only levothyroxine to see how much lipids improve in them
