| Abstract | ||
| There has been controversy over the possible association of antithyroid with RA (Thyroiditis with Rheumatoid Arthritis). We have therefore compared the prevalence thyroid antibody anti thyroglobuline (anti-TG) and abnormal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels in 57 RA patients with 20 aged matched control. 9 (16%) of the RA patients had thyroid Ab whereas no one of control had thyroid Ab (p<0.01). RA patients had TSH levels between (6-25 mU/L), while all control group had TSH levels within normal range (p<0.01). These results suggests that RA is associated with RA have minor hypothyroidism. | ||
