Abstract

Previous studies on relatively small populations of patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) suggested an association between pSS and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). As some findings in the literature regarding the relationship between pSS and thyroid disease are contradictory, and there is little information on the sequence of pSS and HT, we conducted a study with a population of patients with pSS that was about three times larger than previously studied populations. Our objective was to determine the prevalence of HT and Graves' disease (GD) in patients with pSS and to assess the sequence of pSS and autoimmune thyroid diseases. A total of 479 patients with pSS were retrospectively studied. Thyroid ultrasound and scintigraphy were performed, and serum thyrotropin, free triiodothyronine, free thyroxine, antithyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), and anti-thyroglobulin autoantibody (TgAb) measurements were carried out. Solitary thyroid nodules were investigated by fine-needle aspiration biopsy. Thyroid dysfunction was found in 95 patients (21.25%). Thirty of these patients had HT and 18 had GD. HT predated pSS in eight patients, developed at approximately the same time in seven patients, and followed pSS in 15 patients. Almost...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Thyroiditis

Autoimmune thyroiditis is an inflammatory disease of thyroid gland due to autoimmune responses leading to lymphocytic infiltration of the gland. It is characterized by the presence of circulating thyroid antigen-specific T-cells and thyroid autoantibodies. Discover the latest research on autoimmune thyroiditis here.
