To evaluate the post- coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) outcome of thyroid function in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-related thyrotoxicosis. This was a single-center prospective study involving 29 (11 females, 18 males; median age 64 years, range: 43–85) thyrotoxicosis diagnosed after hospitalization for COVID-19 and then followed-up period 90 days (range: 30–12...

introduction:differentiated thyroid carcinoma (dtc) follow-up after thyroidectomy and radioiodine-ablation is performed mainly by thyroglobulin (tg), diagnostic iodine-131 whole body scan (dxwbs) and sonography. some patients with undetectable tg have thyroid-bed uptake after ablation in whom decision making regarding the need for retreatment is still controversial. methods: in this study, we e...

To the Editor: Cappelli and colleagues recently reported on 2 patients with lymph node metastases from papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and detectable serum thyroglobulin (Tg) autoantibodies (TgAb). Fine-needle aspirations (FNAs) of such lymph node metastases were performed both before and after recombinant human thyrotropin (rhTSH) stimulation, and Tg levels were measured in the needle washou...

Amaç: Kardiyak problemi ve herhangi bir sistemik hastalığı olmayan hipertiroidili hastalarda beyin natriüretrik peptid ( BNP) düzeyini tedavinin BNP düzeyine etkisini değerlendirmeyi planladık. 
 Gereç Yöntem: Çalışmaya 29 30 sağlıklı olgu dahil edildi. Hastalarda total T3, T4, serbest TSH, anti TPOAb, Anti TgAb düzeylerine tedavi öncesinde ötiroid olduktan sonra bakıldı. Bulgular: Hiperti...

The aim of this study was to better understand the frequency of autoimmune thyroid and diabetes antibodies in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) compared with their siblings. Glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies (GADA), islet cell antibodies (ICA), insulin autoantibodies (IAA), and thyroid autoantibodies were studied in all subjects. The rates of positive GADA and IAA were signific...

Abnormalities in the thyroid function and thyroid autoantibodies have been frequently described in patients with autoimmune diseases but seldom in antiphospholipid syndrome patients. In order to determine the prevalence of thyroid function and autoimmune abnormalities, we compared serum thyrotropin (TSH, serum free thyroxine (T4) levels, thyroid antithyroglobulin (TgAb) and antithyroperoxidase ...

Objective. To determine the prevalence and impact of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods. Eight-hundred patients were included. The association between AITD and RA was analyzed was analyzed by bivariate and multivariate analysis. In addition, a literature review was done focusing on geographical variations. Results. In our cohort the prevalence ...

Objective. To evaluate the percentage of elevated stimulated thyroglobulin (sTg) and persistent or recurrent disease (PRD) in patients with detectable basal Tg < 0.3 ng/mL. Methods. The sample consisted of 130 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) who were at low risk of PRD and who had neck ultrasound (US) without abnormalities, negative anti-Tg antibodies (TgAb), and detectable basa...
