We have comprehensively evaluated an immunologic response to food antigens, mediated by immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies, on clinical aspects of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT).
Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is often associated with rheumatic disorders (arthritis, etc.), but many HT patients report non-specific rheumatic signs and symptoms in the absence of clinically evident rheumatic diseases.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis, also referred to as autoimmune thyroiditis, is characterized by sexual dimorphism, suggesting an important role of sex hormones in its development.
To assess the prevalence of Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) in primary thyroid lymphoma (PTL) and whether it differs between mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
Patients with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (HT) or Graves' Disease (GD) were individually compared to a control group of patients with early stage malignancy or goiter.
Our meta-analysis showed that the FAS -670 A/G polymorphism was associated with the risk of autoimmune diseases (GG vs. GA: OR=1.079, 95% CI=1.004-1.160, P=0.038), especially in Caucasians (GG vs. GA: OR=1.12, 95% CI=1.03-1.23, P=0.012), Asians (G vs. A: OR=0.89, 95% CI=0.83-0.96, P=0.002), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (G vs. A: OR=0.85, 95% CI=0.77-0.94, P=0.001), multiple sclerosis (MS) (GG+GA vs. AA: OR=0.83, 95% CI=0.70-0.99, P=0.043), systemic sclerosis (SSc) (GG vs. GA: OR=1.20, 95% CI=1.07-1.36, P=0.003) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) (G vs. A: OR=1.45, 95% CI=1.10-1.90, P=0.008); the FAS -1377 G/A polymorphism was associated with the risk of autoimmune diseases (A vs. G: OR=1.11, 95% CI=1.03-1.20, P=0.008), especially in Asians (A vs. G: OR=1.15, 95% CI=1.05-1.25, P=0.002) and high quality studies (A vs. G: OR=1.14, 95% CI=1.05-1.24, P=0.002).
<i>Purpose</i>: To evaluate the ocular surface characteristics based on Schirmer's test, tear break-up time (TBUT), and conjunctival impression cytology (CIC) in children with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT).
In this connection, deficiency of vitamin D has been associated with several autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), Hashimoto Thyroiditis (HT), and multiple sclerosis (MS).
Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is an autoimmune disorder that drives the function of thyroid gland to the sequential clinical states:euthyroidism (normal condition), subclinical hypothyroidism (asymptomatic period) and overt hypothyroidism (symptomatic period).
The results showed that UGRP1 was expressed in the thyrocytes of most Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) patients and a proportion of GD patients (293 HT and 198 GD).
Thyroid cancer (TC) coexisting with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) presents with several characteristic features including multifocality and lower clinical stages compared to de novo carcinomas but its exact biology is still not understood.
Worldwide, iodine deficiency is the most common cause of hypothyroidism, however, in iodine-sufficient countries like the United States, the most common cause is autoimmune thyroiditis or Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
The purpose of the study was to measure the hepcidin concentration and evaluate Fe homeostasis indices in a prospective study on patients with newly diagnosed hypothyroidism in the course of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and following successful therapy.
