Objective: This study was performed to investigate the levels of platelet activation marker SCUBE-1 and sCD40L which plays some role in the progression of atherosclerosis, in patients with hypothyroidism due to Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
Patients And Methods: The cohort of this study includes 90 patients and 35 healthy volunteers, who admitted to the internal medicine out-patient. Simultaneously in the same samples; SCUBE-1 and sCD40L measurements were accomplished by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The data obtained were analyzed statistically.
Results: Hypothyroidism due to Hashimoto's thyroiditis in comparison to the control group that includes healthy volunteers; SCUBE-1 and sCD40L, were increased. And these results were statistically significant (p < 0.05).
Conclusions: SCUBE-1 and sCD40L levels were increased in Hashimoto's hypothyroidism patients. This may indicate an increased endothelial dysfunction, platelet activation and cardiovascular risk in hypothyroidism. SCUBE-1 and sCD40L may be helpful in cardiovascular risk assessment of hypothyroid patients.

Background: Dipper and non-dipper hypertension are different clinical forms of essential hypertension. In this study, the effect of circadian blood pressure changes on serum SCUBE-1 and soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) levels was investigated in patients with hypertension.
Methods: A total of 100 participants aged 23-89 years were included in the study.
