Objective: To determine the frequency of autoimmune thyroiditis in children with Celiac disease and the effect of gluten free diet on autoimmune thyroiditis.
Methods: We enrolled 100 patients, age 1-12 years of either gender diagnosed as Celiac disease (CD) in this prospective observational study in the Department of Pediatric Medicine, from 1 January 2018 to 30 June 2019. Diagnosis of autoimmune thyroiditis was made if anti-thyroperoxidase >35 iu/ml or anti-thyroglobulin >20 iu/ml at diagnosis of CD and then at one year on gluten free diet (GFD) in all cases.
