Thyroid disorders are common in first-degree relatives of individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus

Abstract: Objective: Thyroid diseases are common in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and should be investigated annually in these individuals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of thyroid diseases in first degree relatives (FDR) of patients with T1DM. Subjects and me thods: Eighty individuals (40 patients with T1DM and 40 FDR) were interviewed and blood was sampled for thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4) and thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies measurement. Autoantibo… Show more

“…The concomitant presentation of T1DM and another autoimmune disorder may complicate diabetes management and result in varying clinical symptoms, thus seriously influencing patient quality of life[ 6 ]. Among these additional autoimmune disorders co-occurring among children and adolescents with T1DM, autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) accounts for the highest proportion[ 7 ]. As the most prevalent organ-specific immune-mediated disorder in the world, AITD is characterized by autoreactive lymphocyte infiltration in the thyroid and the presence of autoantibodies targeting thyroid antigens[ 8 ].…”
