Objectives: Thyroid problems are one of the endocrine conditions that affect pregnant women most frequently. It is now widely acknowledged both overt and subclinical thyroid can have a negative impact on obstetrical neonatal outcomes. Surprisingly, there aren't many statistics from India regarding prevalence disease during pregnancy. The purpose this study to ascertain frequency dysfunction in ...

Few studies have been performed to investigate autoimmune diseases associated with organ non-specific rheumatological disorders in children, such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (IA). The objective in this study was to determine the frequency of autoimmune diseases of the thyroid gland in children with JIA. Eighty patients with JIA and 81 healthy sex- and age-matched controls were enrolled in ...

PURPOSE The association between autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) and vitamin D deficiency is controversial. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] and anti-thyroid antibody levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS 25(OH)D3, anti-thyroid antibodies, and thyroid function measured in 304 patients who visited the endocrinology clinic were analyzed. The patien...

Hashimoto encephalopathy is a rare disease associated with autoimmune thyroiditis. Symptoms may include delirium, encephalopathy, seizures, and psychosis. Pathophysiology of this disease is not completely understood. This condition is often under-diagnosed if not suspected and should be considered in patients with diverse neuropsychiatric manifestations in whom no obvious etiology of encephalop...

BACKGROUND Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystemic autoimmune disease caused by immune system-mediated tissue damage. Autoimmune thyroiditis (AT) is an organ-specific disease associated with production of a variety of antibodies such as antinuclear antibodies, anti-double-stranded DNA, anti-Ro antibodies and anti-cardiolipin antibodies. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to ev...

The problem of thyroid dysfunction related to SARS-CoV-2 infection remains unclear in children. Therefore, the study aimed reveal interrelationship between and COVID-19 severity­ as well determine optimal cut-off values for screening disorders A total number 90 children aged from 1 month 17 years were involved study. Patients with known disease not recruited research. panel was assessed all par...

Breast cancer is still one of the leading causes of cancer death in women, but there has been a sustained decline in mortality rates over the last decades the relationship between breast cancer and thyroid diseases is controversial many works have been done in past also. The relation between autoimmune and non-autoimmune thyroid diseases has been investigated in patients with breast cancer and ...

We present a case of a false-positive anti-myeloperoxidase (MPO) antibody result on an ELISA in a patient with anti-thyroid microsomal antibody (TMA)-positive hypothyroidism. A 41-year-old woman presented with dyspnea on exertion. The initial evaluation revealed pericardial effusion associated with hypothyroidism. In addition, microscopic hematuria with normal renal function and positive cytopl...

Most of the studies have shown a higher risk for subclinical and clinical hypothyroidism, antithyroid autoantibodies [overall antithyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb)], and in general, thyroid autoimmunity, overall in the female gender in patients with sarcoidosis (S). A significantly higher prevalence of clinical hypothyroidism and Graves' disease was also described in female S patients with ...

The knowledge about dietary habits and their influence in the development of autoimmune thyroid disease is insufficient. The aim of this study was to analyse the association of dietary factors and plasma thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO-Ab) and/or thyroglobulin antibodies (Tg-Ab). The study enrolled 1887 participants originating from the South Croatia. Participants with elevated plasma TPO-Ab...
