Objective: The aim of our study was to explore the association between serum cystatin C (CysC) and euthyroid Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
Methods: There were 119 female euthyroid Hashimoto's thyroiditis patients and 225 healthy controls who were recruited. Serum CysC, thyroid function, thyroid autoantibodies, fasting glucose, liver enzymes, and lipid profile were determined. Clinical parameters were compared between two groups.
Results: Serum CysC levels were significantly higher in euthyroid Hashimoto's thyroiditis patients compared with controls. In the lowest, middle, and highest tertile groups of CysC, the percentage of Hashimoto's thyroiditis was 15.9%, 34.2%, and 53.5%, respectively. The percentage of Hashimoto's thyroiditis was significantly higher in the highest tertile than in the lowest and middle tertiles. Spearman's correlation analysis showed that serum CysC levels were negatively correlated with free triiodothyronine (FT), and positively correlated with serum thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb). Logistic regression analysis showed that serum CysC was independently related to the status of euthyroid Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
Conclusions: The present study shows the first evidence suggesting that serum CysC levels are positively correlated with TPOAb and TGAb. Serum CysC might underlie the pathophysiologic features of euthyroid Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic inflammation of the thyroid gland. Recent evidence indicates that the inflammation may extend beyond the thyroid. The study aims to explore the potential of complete blood count (CBC)-derived indices as markers of systemic inflammation in HT.

Background: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) affects up to 10 % of the population and is a common cause of hypothyroidism, which can lead to depression and anxiety. However, it remains unclear whether HT directly causes these conditions or if they arise due to HT-induced hypothyroidism. The present review aims to offer meta-analytic insights into the relationship between depression and anxiety in patients with euthyroid HT.

Clinicians often consider the use of dietary supplements to assist in lowering thyroid autoantibody titres in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). Currently, different supplements differ in their ability to reduce autoantibody levels. The purpose of this article is to compare the ability of different supplements to lower autoantibody titres and restore TSH levels through a systematic literature review.

Hashimoto thyroiditis and Graves' disease are autoimmune thyroid disorders that are common in women of reproductive age and have a complex relationship with female fertility and health of the maternal-fetal dyad. Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, whether subclinical or overt in severity, directly or indirectly affect nearly every level of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovary axis, uterine and ovarian function, as well as fetal development from implantation through delivery. Autoimmunity itself also appears to negatively impact both spontaneous and assisted fertility, as well as miscarriage risk, although the mechanism remains unclear, and the presence and magnitude of risk is variable in published literature.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is the most common cause of goiter and acquired hypothyroidism in children after iodine deficiency. In this study, clinical and laboratory findings and follow-up results of children diagnosed with HT are presented. The data of cases diagnosed with HT between 2004 and 2022 in 2 centers in Erzurum were evaluated retrospectively.
