Effect of restoration of euthyroidism on peripheral blood cells and erythropoietin in women with subclinical hypothyroidism.
BACKGROUND In overt hypothyroidism (OH) anemia is common, while less frequently basophilia has been described. In subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH), however, data on the distribution of peripheral blood cells are lacking. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of L-T4 replacement therapy on peripheral blood elements in female patients with SCH before and after restoration of euthyroidism in a rando...
متن کاملChanges in Liver Function correlate with the Improvement of Lipid Profile after Restoration of Euthyroidism in Patients with Subclinical Hypothyroidism
Overt hypothyroidism frequently leads to liver dysfunction. Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is linked to abnormalities of lipoprotein metabolism, however, data on liver function are lacking. We analyzed the effects of L-thyroxine (L-T4) therapy on liver function and their association with changes of serum lipoproteins in SCH as part of a prospective, double-blind study. 66 women with SCH were ...
متن کاملSerum chitotriosidase activity is increased in subjects with atherosclerosis disease.
OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to analyze the relation between serum activity of chitotriosidase enzyme, a protein synthesized exclusively by activated macrophages, and atherosclerotic lesion extent in subjects with atherothrombotic stroke (ATS) and in subjects with ischemic heart disease (IHD). METHODS AND RESULTS We assayed the serum chitotriosidase activity and a common chitotriosidas...
متن کاملCombined Treatment with Myo-Inositol and Selenium Ensures Euthyroidism in Subclinical Hypothyroidism Patients with Autoimmune Thyroiditis
Background. Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis or chronic autoimmune thyroiditis, is the most common form of thyroiditis affecting more than 10% of females and 2% of males. The present study aims to evaluate the beneficial effect of a combined treatment, Myo-Inositol plus selenomethionine, on subclinical hypothyroidism. Methods. The study was designed as...
متن کاملSerum fibroblast growth factor 19 is decreased in patients with overt hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism
As a newly emerging metabolic regulator, accumulating evidence suggests that the circulating fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) level correlated with lipid and glucose metabolism. Several independent groups have found that FGF19 was highly likely associated with multiple metabolic disorders. Thyroid dysfunction is believed to be associated with metabolism diseases. However, to date, few studie...
