Thyroid function, morphology and autoimmunity in young patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus

Abstract: Objective: An association between insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and autoimmune thyroid disease is well recognized. We have studied the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction, autoimmunity and morphological abnormalities by ultrasonography in young diabetics. Subjects and methods: Among young IDDM patients less than 18 years old and living in the county of Funen, Denmark, 105 of 116 eligible patients participated. They were compared with 105 healthy children matched for sex and age. Routine thyroid func… Show more

“…No entanto, nem todos os estudos concordam na magnitude deste aumento. É possível que fatores como raça, ingesta de iodo e até o uso de ensaios cada vez mais sensíveis possam explicar esta diferença (8).…”

“…(8), estudando 105 pessoas com diabetes com menos de 18 anos de idade, encontraram títulos aumentados de anticorpos antitireoideanos em 16,2% dos pacientes. Cinqüenta por cento das mulheres e 35% dos homens diabéticos apresentavam algum tipo de anormalidade morfológica tireoideana à ultra-sonografia, comparado a apenas 8% das mulheres e 13% dos homens do grupo controle.…”

“…Our prevalence of thyroid autoantibodies at clinical onset of type 1 diabetes was similar to findings in some previous studies [26,27], but in other studies a prevalence as high as 15.8-29% has been reported. However, in these studies, the patients were tested at follow-up and not at the time of diagnosis [1,13,14,[28][29][30], which may explain the higher prevalence. Furthermore, only few children are diagnosed with AITD at the onset of type 1 diabetes [23,26,31], while the risk of AITD increases during follow-up of patients with type 1 diabetes.…”

“…It is of interest that GADA was associated with DQ2 and IAA and IA-2A with DQ8, while DQ2 was associated with a decreased risk for IA-2A [12]. Autoantibodies against TPO (TPOAb) and TG (TGAb) were also associated with HLA-DQ genotype [13,14], although their relationships with specific HLA-DQ haplotypes were less obvious and would need further clarification in larger studies.…”

“…It is suggested that there is a strong relationship between Graves' disease and type 1 DM, since coexistence of AITD and type 1 DM is classified as PGA type III [3]. It has been reported that approximately 20% of patients with type 1 diabetes develop AITD, compared to a risk of 1% to 7% in the general population [4,5]. Conversely, the titer of anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies in patients with AITD can be significantly higher than in healthy controls [6].…”
