objective: due to the increased prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in subjects with type 2 diabetes and also this fact that antibodies could potentially identify subjects at risk of thyroid dysfunction, this study was conducted to investigate thyroid autoimmunity in type 2 diabetic patients. material and methods: among patients referred to yazd diabetes research center, 4000 type 2 diabetic pati...

AIMS To compare the prevalence of thyroid peroxidase antibodies in 25 children with autoimmune thyroid disorders and in 41 children and young adults with type 1 diabetes, and to test the prevalence of thyrotropin receptor antibodies. METHODS Two commercially available radioimmunoassays for antibodies to thyroid peroxidase, a commercially available agglutination test of particles coated with t...

objective: diabetes mellitus and thyroid disease are the two common endocrinopathies seen in adult population. studies to evaluate thyroid disorders in patients with type 2 diabetes are lacking. the aim of this study was to compare prevalence of thyroid dysfunction and autoim-munity in type 2 diabetic patients with age and sex matched non-diabetic control group. material and methods: among pati...

BACKGROUND The development of antibodies to thyroid peroxidase, thyroglobulin, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor is a main feature of autoimmune thyroid diseases. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether complete removal of thyroid antigens results in the abatement of humoral thyroid autoimmunity. DESIGN Retrospective chart review study of patients treated and monitored with a standard...

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether there are thyroid diseases in which breast cancer will appear later as well the role autoimmunity. This a retrospective observational study. A total 410 females (thyroid surgery and cancer) 524 only) were compared with regard pathological findings, hormones, autoimmunity type cancer. Thyroid autoimmunity, especially antithyroid peroxidase antibodies...

OBJECTIVES Determining the prevalence of hypothyroidism and its interrelationship with peroxidase antibodies and high urinary iodine levels as a means for devising a set of recommendations for health authorities regarding the consumption of iodised salt and the early detection of thyroid disease. METHODS 437 people in the municipality of Armenia (Quindío) participated in the study. ELISA test...

OBJECTIVE: Due to the increased prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in subjects with type 2 diabetes and also this fact that antibodies could potentially identify subjects at risk of thyroid dysfunction, this study was conducted to investigate thyroid autoimmunity in type 2 diabetic patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Among patients referred to Yazd Diabetes Research Center, 4000 type 2 diabetic pat...

The presence of the antibodies against the main thyroid antigens, which include thyroid peroxidase (TPO) or microsomal antigen, thyroglobulin (Tg) as well as thyrotropin receptor or Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Receptor (TSH-R), is a hallmark and symbol of the autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) as one of the most common autoimmune diseases (AD) around the world. The prevalence of the thyroid pe...

background: premature ovarian failure (pof) is a disorder of multi causal etiology. autoimmunity has been proposed as a mechanism for some cases of ovarian follicle dysfunction which is evident in pof. the aim of this study was to identify the level of auto-antibodies in pof and familial pof patients. materials and methods: in this study, auto-antibodies including anti-ovarian antibody (aoa), a...
