anticardiolipin antibodies and immunoglobulin m and a in graves’ disease
Authors
abstract
background : graves’ disease is an autoimmune disease, characterized by the presence of antibodies directed to tsh receptor or nearby regions as well as antibodies to double strands dna (dsdna) anticardiolipin and nuclear antibodies. this study evaluated anticardiolipin and rheumatoid factor, such as iga and igm antibodies in patients with graves’ disease. patients and methods: anticardiolipin and rheumatoid factor were measured in sera of 84 patients (29 male, 55 female) with evidence of graves’ disease and 41 healthy individuals (15 male, 26 female) with negative history of hyperthyroidism and other autoimmune diseases. results: mean level of anti cardiolipin antibody (acla) in patients and control groups were 0.192±0.11 and 0.087±0.200 optical density (od) respectively. the level of igm-rhematoid factor (igm-rf) of patients and healthy control groups was the same, whereas the mean iga-rf levels in patients was significantly lower than control group. conclusion: anticardiolipin level in different studies showed various results which may be due to genetic backgrounds. lower level of iga-rf may also be due to environmental factors, which stimulate specific lymphocytes that producing this type of antibodies. iran j med sci 2005; 30(1): 6-9. keywords · anticardiolipin antibody · rheumatoid factor · graves’ disease

BACKGROUND Immunoglobulin G (IgG) anticardiolipin (aCL) antibodies are associated with valvulopathy and endocarditis in patients with lupus and other diseases. During acute Q fever, high IgG aCL prevalence has been reported, but the clinical significance remains unknown. METHODS To test if increased IgG aCL at acute Q fever diagnosis is associated with an increased risk of progression to endo...

Background: Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) can either occur as a primary syndrome or associated with other autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) of IgG and/or IgM isotype in blood, measured by a standardized ELISA is the most acceptable laboratory criteria. APS IgG isotype, particularly IgG2 subclass is more strongly associated ...

graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder characterized by presence of antibodies directed against thyroid stimulating hormone (tsh) receptor or nearby region. other serological abnormalities like antibodies to double stranded dna (ds–dna) and antinuclear antibodies (ana) have also been observed. we studied antibodies to ds-dna and ana in our patients with graves’ disease and compared them with...
