Vitamin D in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and its relationship with thyroid function and in‚ammatory status Abstract. Several studies have shown the correlation between vitamin D [25(OH)D] deficiency and thyroid autoimmunity and reducing of thyroid autoantibodies in patients with normal levels of vitamin D combining with thyroid hormone replacement. However, other authors not agree with this association. It is still unclear whether the low 25(OH)D levels are the result of HT disease or a part of its cause. We studied 88 patients with HT regarding vitamin D status and thyroid autoimm...

Vitamin D Deficiency and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis in Children and Adolescents: a Critical Vitamin D Level for This Association? ABSTRACT Objective: Vitamin D has been suggested to be active as an immunomodulator in autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). The goal of the present study was to investigate the vitamin D status in HT patients. Methods: This prevalence case-control study was conducted on 90 patients with HT (of ages 12.32±2.87 years) and 79 age-matched healthy controls (11.85±2.28 years). Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] levels were measured ...

 The importance of selenium in Hashimoto’s disease Summary The aim of this study was to present the current state of knowledge on the role of selenium in the treatment of Hashimoto’s disease. In recent years, the number of cases of autoimmune Hashimoto’s thyroiditis – a chronic disease that usually leads to hypothyroidism – has increased. Most patients have elevated levels of anti-TPO antibodies. The presence of these antibodies has an effect on subsequent thyroid damage. So far we have not developed an effective, standard therapy of this disease. However, more attention is ...

The Footprints of Poly-autoimmunity: evidence for common Biological Factors involved in Multiple sclerosis and hashimoto’s Thyroiditis Autoimmune diseases are a diverse group of chronic disorders and affect a multitude of organs and systems. However, the existence of common pathophysiological mechanisms is hypothesized and reports of shared risk are emerging as well. In this regard, patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) have been shown to have an increased susceptibility to develop chronic autoimmune thyroid diseases, in particular Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT), suggesting an ...

The effect of obesity and dietary habits on oxidative stress in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis Abstract Objective: Increased oxidative stress has been described in patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). The aim of the present study was to investigate whether high oxidative stress is further influenced by obesity and dietary habits in euthyroid women with HT. Methods: Two hundred eighteen consecutive euthyroid women with HT were studied and separated in two groups; 102 with thyroxine replacement and 114 without. For the evaluation of oxidative stress, total lipid peroxide levels in ...

Specific use of CSII during enteral nocturnal nutrition in a child with type 1 diabetes, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and Down syndrome SUMÁRIO O manejo da terapia com insulina em pacientes diabéticos que têm comorbidades que envolvam aspectos nutricionais é um grande desafio para os especialistas em diabetes. Em pacientes diabéticos com estado nutricional comprometido, a nutrição artificial, tanto enteral quanto parenteral, pode ajudar no tratamento de doenças crônicas e agudas, levando à recuperação melhor e mais rápida do estado de saúde. Entretanto, se não adequada...

Selenium supplementation could restore euthyroidism in subclinical hypothyroid patients with autoimmune thyroiditis Abstract Intriduction: The thyroid is an organ with one of the highest selenium concentrations, containing many selenoproteins implicated in thyroid hormone metabolism. Treatment with levothyroxine has been recommended for all subclinical hypothyroid patients with TSH levels > 10 mU/L, whereas for those with TSH < 10 mU/L treatment remains controversial. Aim: A randomised controlled prospective study was performed to investigate the effects of Se treatment on ...

Primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism among vitamin D deficient Hashimoto's thyroiditis patients and the need for a parathyroid scan Dear Editor, Vitamin D deciency/insufficiency is quite prevalent in many countries where has been studied. The reported vitamin D screening and supplementation, during the last years in Greece, in healthy persons without underlying risk factors (such as osteoporosis, osteomalakia, malabsorption syndromes, chronic kidney disease, medications, hyperparathyroidism, pregnant and lactating women, etc) [1], is expected to affect the national health care costs ...
