THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANTI-TPO AND VIT D IN DIFFERENT AGE GROUP PATIENTS WITH OTOIMMUN THYROIDITIS DISORDER

Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: The results of studies conducted to investigate the relationship between autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) and vitamin D are different. The aim of our study is to investigate the relationship between anti-TPO and vitamin D in patients divided into different age groups with autoimmuntyroid disorder. Methods:Between January 2019 and July 2019, test data of 625 patients who came to our laboratory with the diagnosis of autoimmuntyroid disorder were retrospectively examined.447 patients were divided into four groups (0-25), (25-65, (66-90), (20-84). 178 patients with low and normal Vit-D levels were examined in two separate groups (Group A, Group B) (Table 2). Patients with a vitamin D level less than <20 ng / mL constituted Group A, and patients with a Vit D level higher than ?20 ng / mL constituted Group B. Results: The proportion of patients with vitamin D deficiency was approximately 56%. In our study, 625 patients with positive autoimmune antibody test were divided into six groups and examined. No significant relationship was found between Vit D levels and Anti-TPO in all six groups (P> 0.05). Conclusion: We could not find a significant relationship between the pathogenesis of AITD disease according to the specific age groups and Vit D levels of the patients. More research is needed to fully understand the role of vitamin D levels in autoimmuntyroid disorder.
