Aim: Most research teams analyze the evolution of patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) on syndromal basis, not on pathogenetic basis. Thus, most researchers refer to thyroid function evolution. In this study we tried to show how evolve the antithyroid antibodies. Therefore, we analyzed ATPO evolutive patterns.Method: (1) ATPO levels were analyzed in several accreditated Bucharest laboratories. (2) Only patients with minimum 3 investigations were cons...

Aim: The biological diagnostic of Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) is based on higher than normal levels of antithyroperoxydase antibodies (ATPO). Our goal was to establish the cut-off limit of normality (the upper limit) for ATPO in our thyroid normal patients. This limit, and not that of the laboratory, should be used as diagnosis of Hashimoto thyroiditis.Material and method: 1. ATPO was investigated in patients with normal level of thyroid hormones (euthyro...

Introduction: Trabecular bone score (TBS) was introduced in FRAX, to evaluate more precisely the risk for fracture. However, FRAX is a method for editing a risk, not for making a diagnosis. WHO established conventionally, based on the level of standard deviation (SD), named T score, for Bone Mineral Density (BMD) that <−2,5 SD is compatible with the diagnosis of osteoporosis.Aim: Our aim was to analyze if it is possible to used T score (SD) for...
