Frequency of biochemical hypothyroidism in sera referred for autoantibody testing.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examined sera submitted for autoantibody testing for thyroid microsome antibodies (TMA), elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and free thyroxine concentrations. The frequency of TMA in antinuclear antibody-positive sera was higher (19%) than that in antinuclear antibody-negative sera (12%). Elevated TSH concentrations in serum and subnormal thyroxine concentrations in serum were associated with the presence of TMA; TMA titer and the frequency of elevated TSH concentrations were also associated with the presence of TMA.
