Sickle cell trait (SCT i.e. being a carrier) does not mean disease. If one parent has SCT, there is a 50% (or 1 in 2) chance that the child will have SCT (not disease) and an equal 50% chance that the child will not have SCT. So yes, you may very well go ahead and marry that young love of yourself and have children free from Sickle cell disease. :)
Good luck

Endocrinologist•Dharwad
lybrate-user ji, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. In hypothyroidism lipids do get disturbed. Once tsh is well controlled, there will be positive effect on lipids too. However, with such high ldl there is a need for taking a statin like rosuvastatin for a few months. Tsh needs to be maintained around 3 to 4 mu/l for being symptoms free. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.
