25-Hydroxyvitamin D serum level in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, but not Graves’ disease is relatively deficient
Vitamin D is a modulator of both the innate and adaptive immune system. As vitamin D deficiency was a risk factor for some autoimmune diseases, we aimed to evaluate the serum vitamin D levels in autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) including Graves’ disease (GD) and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) and investigated the association between serum vitamin D levels and AITD. 175 AITD patients including 51 GD, 61 euthyroid HT (mild HT), 63 euthyroid HT patients with hypothyroidism ...

Recently, vitamin D level in autoimmune thyroiditis (HT – Hashimoto’s thyroiditis) has become the subject of researchers’ interest. Objectives. This study aims to assess vitamin 25-OH-D3 levels in HT patients in comparison to a control group in the Polish population. This would be ...
