%X <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Organ-specific immunological disorders involving organ/gland like the thyroid, liver, muscles, pancreas, etc., is a result of autoimmunity which can be with or without association with systemic immunological disorders. The thyroid gland is most commonly involved. We evaluated thyroid dysfunction and ESR among various immunological disorders and their correlation with disease activity and hemoglobin respectively.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>A cross-sectional/observational study was conducted by including 110 patients with different immunological disorders who came in as in-patients and outpatients in our institute for 18 months and various data were collected and evaluated to analyze the targeted parameters among the study group.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>We found a positive correlation between disease activity and thyroid dysfunction in different immunological disorders (only in Rheumatoid arthritis [P = 0.004) and Systemic lupus erythematosus (0.009) and not in other immunological disorders] among the study group. A positive correlation was found between ESR (Mean value - 19.63 and Standard Deviation (SD) - 09.473) and disease activity (only in Rheumatoid arthritis P = 0.0001) where a negative correlation was found between ESR and Hemoglobin (Mean value - 11.07 and SD - 01.91 (P = 0.001) in patients under study.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Our study demonstrated a positive correlation between thyroid dysfunction and ESR with disease activity, whereas demonstrated a negative correlation between ESR and Hemoglobin in patients with various immunological disorders under study.
