Abstract

To evaluate the usefulness of routine screening for other associated autoimmune endocrine disorders in patients with karyotypically normal spontaneous premature ovarian failure. One hundred nineteen women with karyotypically normal spontaneous premature ovarian failure (FSH exceeding 40 mIU/mL) who desired fertility were evaluated at a tertiary care academic center by physical examination, measurement of serum free thyroxine and TSH, ACTH stimulation test, fasting serum glucose, 3-hour glucose tolerance test, measurement of serum electrolytes including total calcium, and measurement of serum vitamin B12. Twenty-two of 119 patients (18.5%) were known to have hypothyroidism and three were known to have Addison disease. Ten new cases of hypothyroidism and three new cases of diabetes mellitus were discovered. However, no new cases of adrenal insufficiency, hypoparathyroidism, or pernicious anemia were found. Screening for hypothyroidism and diabetes appears justified in those patients with karyotypically normal spontaneous premature ovarian failure who desire fertility. However, our findings suggest that in these patients, testing for other associated autoimmune endocrine disorders may be reserved for those with clinical indications.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes

This feed focuses on a rare genetic condition called Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes, which are characterized by autoantibodies against multiple endocrine organs. This can lead to Type I Diabetes.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Addison Disease

Addison's disease, also known as primary adrenal insufficiency and hypocortisolism, is a long-term endocrine disorder in which the adrenal glands do not produce enough steroid hormones. Discover the latest research on Addison's disease here.
