Effects of Vitamin D treatment on thyroid autoimmunity

Abstract: Background:Vitamin D was shown to be related to autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) in the previous studies. We aimed to investigate the relationship between Vitamin D and thyroid autoimmunity.Materials and Methods:Eighty-two patients, diagnosed with AITD by the endocrinology outpatient clinic, were included in this prospective study. All of the patients had both AITD and Vitamin D deficiency, defined as serum values <20 ng/mL. They were randomly assigned into two groups. The first group included 46 patients a… Show more

“…These findings suggest that VD is associated with the pathogenesis and development of AITD. 178 188 A VD deficiency has been proposed to increase the immune response through activating the production of autoimmune thyroid antibodies in T helper-2 cells (Th-2) and B cells. 189 , 190 …”

“…The number of responders (≥25% fall in anti-TPO level) was higher in the group that received vitamin D supplementation (68% vs. 44%; p = 0.015) [ 42 ]. Simsek et al, demonstrated that anti-TPO and anti-Tg levels in AITD patients with a 25(OH)D level <50 nmol/L were significantly decreased as a result of administration of vitamin D at 1000 IU/day for 1 month ( p = 0.02 and p = 0.03, respectively) [ 43 ].…”
