Cytogenetic and immunologic studies in chickens with autoimmune thyroiditis.
IT has been suggested that thyroid autoimmunity might predispose to aberrations involving chromosome number 21 in humans-. This hypothesis has been supported by data from a number of studies--of the families of patients with trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome). These studies have revealed an increased prevalence of autoantibodies to thyroglobulin in patients with trisomy 21 and their mothers, compared...
متن کاملCytological, histopathological and immunological aspects of autoimmune thyroiditis: a review.
Autoimmune thyroiditis (AT) is a disease that may be associated with many other autoimmune endocrine and non-endocrine disorders. This disease is mediated by both humoral and cellular mechanisms and it is the result of combined effects of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II genes and non-HLA genes polymorphisms. The clinical course of AT is variable and may be characterized by spontaneous re...
متن کاملHashimoto's autoimmune thyroiditis and vitamin D deficiency. Current aspects.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is a chronic autoimmune thyroid disease caused by an interaction between genetic factors and environmental conditions, both of which are not yet completely understood. The significant association between vitamin D deficiency and HT has been investigated regarding the immune role of this hormone. In HT, an immunologic reaction is triggered when thyrocytes express maj...
متن کاملAutoimmune Thyroiditis and Glomerulopathies
Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) is generally associated with hypothyroidism. It affects ~2% of the female population and 0.2% of the male population. The evidence of thyroid function- and thyroid autoantibody-unrelated microproteinuria in almost half of patients with AIT and sometimes heavy proteinuria as in the nephrotic syndrome point to a link of AIT with renal disease. The most common renal di...
متن کاملLithium associated autoimmune thyroiditis.
A case of autoimmune thyroiditis after long term treatment with lithium is described in a 29 year old Japanese woman with manic depression. Positive serum antithyroglobulin and antimicrosomal antibodies, diffuse goitre, and microscopic chronic thyroiditis, as well as the clinical history of long term lithium treatment were suggestive of lithium associated autoimmune thyroiditis. Microscopically...
