“…Based on ultrasound 2D shear-wave elastography, thyroid stiffness measured by shear-wave dispersion performed somewhat better in diagnosing HT than thyroid viscosity measured by shear-wave dispersion[ 93 ]. Compared with conventional ultrasound examination, high-frequency ultrasonic elastography exhibited a significantly higher diagnostic accuracy of HT (sensitivity, 92.16%; specificity, 92.86%; NPV, 86.67%; PPV, 95.92%)[ 94 ]. A recent meta-analysis indicated that ultrasound-based shear wave elastography plays an important role and should be encouraged for use in diagnosing pediatric HT[ 95 ].…”

As a common hyperglycemic disease, type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a complicated disorder that requires a lifelong insulin supply due to the immune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells. Although it is an organ-specific autoimmune disorder, T1DM is often associated with multiple other autoimmune disorders. The most prevalent concomitant autoimmune disorder occurring in T1DM is autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), which mainly exhibits two extremes of phenotypes: hyperthyroidism [Graves' disease (GD)] and hypo-thyroidism [Hashimoto's thyroiditis, (HT)]. However, the presence of comorbid AITD may negatively affect metabolic management in T1DM patients and thereby may increase the risk for potential diabetes-related complications. Thus, routine screening of thyroid function has been recommended when T1DM is diagnosed. Here, first, we summarize current knowledge regarding the etiology and pathogenesis mechanisms of both diseases. Subsequently, an updated review of the association between T1DM and AITD is offered. Finally, we provide a relatively detailed review focusing on the application of thyroid ultrasonography in diagnosing and managing HT and GD, suggesting its critical role in the timely and accurate diagnosis of AITD in T1DM.
