type 1 diabetes mellitus is frequently associated with autoimmune thyroid disease (atd).genetic susceptibility for autoantibody formation in association with atd and type 1 diabetes mellitus has been described with varying frequencies, but there is still debate about its prevailing situation in iran.  we have therefore investigated the prevalence of anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-tpo) and anti t...

INTRODUCTION chronic urticaria (CU) is a skin disorder characterized by transient, pruritic wheals persisting for longer than 6 weeks. The etiopathogenesis of the disease is still unclear, but there is evidence that autoimmunity and endocrine dysfunction may be involved. AIM the aim of this study was to determine whether chronic urticaria is statistically associated with thyroid autoimmunity....

We report a case of severe hypothyroidism with nongoitrous, autoimmune thyroiditis and pituitary hyperplasia in a 13-year-old boy, who presented with sudden palsy on the left side of his face. Prednisolone and antiviral medication was administered. However, the facial palsy did not improve completely. The medications were replaced with thyroxine, and the facial palsy recovered. Endocrinological...

Hyperthyroidism can be defined as the status of over production thyroid hormones: tri-iodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) a results gland dysfunction. The aim current study was to investigate association between abnormalities hormones (T3 T4) serum levels auto-antibodies: anti-thyroid peroxidase (TPO-Ab) stimulating hormone receptor (TR-Ab) state hyperthyroidism. Blood samples were collected ...

INTRODUCTION Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is associated with an autoimmune reaction to thyroid antigens including thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) and thyroglobulin (anti-Tg). AIMS We determined in children with T1DM the relationship of positive anti-thyroid antibodies to potential risk factors, including, age, gender, duration of diabetes, and glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies (anti-GAD...

Abstract Multiple susceptibility genes can be involved in the development of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Some these are implicated other autoimmune diseases, while others specific to thyroid response. 153 patients with pathology were enrolled study (152 women and 1 man, average age was 46,02±14,3). They divided into 3 groups: 16 postoperative hypothyroidism; 65 hypothyroidism resulting from thyroi...

OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN Sarcoidosis has been associated with thyroid diseases. However, until today no definite conclusions have been drawn. We aimed to assess the frequency of thyroid disorders and the levels of thyroid hormones and thyroid antibodies in 68 sarcoidosis patients and 75 controls. Additionally, we performed ultrasonography and fine-needle aspiration. RESULTS In this prospective ca...

OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence and pattern of thyroid dysfunction (TD) in patients on chronic amiodarone therapy. METHODS A retrospective study which evaluated 59 patients who had received amiodarone therapy regularly for at least 12 months from a period of 3 years from October 2007 to October 2010. The patients were followed-up at the cardiac clinic at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital...
