Study: Retrospective, cohort.Material and methods: A. Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) diagnosis: i) antithyroperoxydase antibodies (ATPO) criteria; cut-off >34 IU/ml. ii) If ATPO=normal (N), HT was considered only antithyroglobuline antibodies (ATG) were >50 IU/ml (↑) and ultrasound was pattern 1 (pseudonodular, intense hypoechogenic, inhomogeneous – Peretianu, Endocrine Abstracts, 2007, 14, P340; 2008, 16, P772; 2009, 20, P79).<p class...

Premises: Numerous recent medical journals and communications insist on the high prevalence of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) associated with breast cancer in women (see www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ key words: breast cancer, thyroiditis, #91).Objective: We proposed to present data from our casuistry related to HT (over 2000 patients and control, including men), observed during last 10 years.Mat...

Aim: Analyzing the evolution of thyroid function in thyroiditis and related disease between 1–20 years.Material and method: i). Diagnostic: Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT): 1. antithyroperoxydase antibodies (ATPO), cut-off 34 ui/ml. 2. if ATPO=normal, thyroiditis was considered if high antithyroglobuline antibodies (T-ATG); 3. idiopathic mixedema (IM): hypothyroidism with no ATPO, no A...
