Methods: In this prospective study, patients with subclinical hypothyroidism, patients with subclinical hyperthyroidism, and euthyroid patients without known thyroid autoimmune disease who served as controls were included. Subclinical thyroid dysfunction was defined as normal se-rum free thyroxine (FT4) and free triiodothyronine (FT3) in the presence of high (subclinical hypothyroidism), or low-suppressed (subclinical hyperthyroidism) serum thyrotropin (TSH) levels.
