Thyroid autoantibodies in chronic urticaria: A case-control study in a South Indian population
Background: Chronic urticaria (CU) is a common skin disorder that accounts for 15%-20% of dermatological cases. There is growing evidence that some cases of chronic idiopathic urticarial (CIU) are associated with various autoimmune diseases, including thyroid autoimmunity. This study aims to identify the thyroidprofile, including thyroid autoantibodies, in patients with CU.Methods: This case-co...
متن کاملInduction of autoantibodies to the adrenal cortex and pancreatic islet cells by interferon alpha therapy for chronic hepatitis C.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Interferon alpha (IFN-alpha) therapy for chronic hepatitis C may trigger induction of autoimmunity against several organs. Immune reactions against distinct adrenocortical protein antigens involved in adrenal autoimmune disease have not been reported to date. Therefore, we investigated the development of highly sensitive and specific adrenal autoantibodies in patients with chron...
متن کاملAutoimmunity as the most frequent cause of idiopathic secondary adrenal insufficiency: report of 111 cases.
The origin of the isolated secondary adrenal insufficiency is unknown in most cases. An observation of a group of over 100 patients with secondary adrenal insufficiency and coexisting autoimmune abnormalities suggests that autoimmunity could be a frequent cause of idiopathic secondary failure, similarly as in Addison's disease. We studied 176 patients with idiopathic isolated secondary adrenal ...

Introduction: Auto – immune disorders have been implicated as a cause for chronic uricaria and/ or angioedema and thyroid autoimmunity has been increasingly introduced to be associated with that. This study explores the association of thyroid autoimmunity with chronic urticaria and / or angioedema in Isfahani patients. Methods: Anti – thyroperoxidase (Ani – TPO) and anti – thyroglobulin (Anti ...
متن کاملThe Role of the Endocannabinoids in Suppression of the Hypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal Axis Activity by Doxepin
Objective(s) The mechanism(s) by which antidepressants regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis remain elusive. The endocannabinoid system (eCBs) which exhibits antidepressant potential, appears to regulate the HPA axis activity. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the role of the eCBs in the action of doxepin including its effect on the HPA axis. Materials and Methods Male Wist...
