Comparison of the correlation between serum autoantibodies against aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 and thyrotropin receptor in patients with Graves’ ophthalmopathy
Abstract:Objectives: Graves’ ophthalmopathy (GO) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by orbital inflammation related to Graves’ disease. Identifying the titers of potential autoimmune target such as thyrotropin receptor autoantibody (TRAb) and anti-aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) antibody could be valuable and convenient in evaluating clinical activity and severity of GO to provide necessary treatment. This study aims to investigate the correlations among serum titers of anti-ALDH2 antibody and TRAb, thyroid funct… Show more
