Blood and thyroid assessments revealed peripheral hypothyroidism with low free thyroxine, high thyroid-st...
متن کاملSelenium Status in Autoimmune Thyroiditis.
UNLABELLED Selenium (Se) is an important element that exerts its effects through selenoproteins. The thyroid gland has the highest Se concentration and specific selenoprotein enzymes families are crucial in the thyroid hormone metabolism. There is little evidence on the link between Se and thyroid autoimmune disease, therefore future studies are required to elucidate the nature of this associ a...
متن کاملA Case of Painful Hashimoto Thyroiditis that Mimicked Subacute Thyroiditis
Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) is an autoimmune thyroid disorder that usually presents as a diffuse, nontender goiter, whereas subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is an uncommon disease that is characterized by tender thyroid enlargement, transient thyrotoxicosis, and an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Very rarely, patients with HT can present with painful, tender goiter or fever, a mimic of ...
