Abstract

Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2T) are the two most common endocrinological diseases worldwide. The relationship between T1DM and autoimmune thyreopathies is known and described, but the relationship between thyreopathies and diabetes type 2 is not clarified sufficiently through that studies manifest increasingly the connection between them. Investigate the prevalence of DM2T in patients with AIT in hypothyroid stadium and compare with common population and investigate a possible association between thyroid and glucose metabolism parameters. The group consisted of 100 patients (33 men and 67 women) with AIT without until now documented glucose metabolism disorder, average age 65.63 ± 19.05 years. The control group (CG) consisted of 100 subjects without until now documented thyreopathy and glucose metabolism disorder (37 men and 63 women), average age 63.85 ± 18.98 years. We realised venous blood sampling and determined thyroidal and glycid metabolism parameters. The study did not confirm higher prevalence of diabetes in patients with AIT [3 (3 %) vs 4 (4 %), p = 1]. There were no statistical significant differences between glycid metabolism parameters in patients with AIT and CG. Also no glycid met...Continue Reading

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.

Autoimmune Diabetes & Tolerance

Patients with type I diabetes lack insulin-producing beta cells due to the loss of immunological tolerance and autoimmune disease. Discover the latest research on targeting tolerance to prevent diabetes.

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.
