Hypothyroidism causes ovarian dysfunction and infertility in women and animals and impairs the hypothalamic expression of kisspeptin (Kp). However, kisspeptin is also expressed in the genital system, and the lack of the Kp receptor (Kiss1r) in the uterus is linked to reduced implantation rates.

Background: Propylthiouracil is an antithyroid medication that is associated with ANCA positivity, often in the absence of clinically overt vasculitis. Propylthiouracil-induced ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is characterized by multiple antigenicity and presents similarly to other forms of drug-induced vasculitis.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 49-year-old woman who developed propylthiouracil-induced AAV after 31 years of intermittent therapy.
