| Abstract | ||
| ABSTRACT: We determined the degree of ovelap between autoimmune thyroiditis disease and Systemic Lupus Erythematosis (SLE). Fourty one SLE patients with twenty age- and sex-matched controls were included in this study. Twenty-one (51%) of the SLE patients had anti thyroglobulin (anti-TG) antibodies. Ten SLE patients had elevated TSH levels, usually in association with the presence of anti-TG. These results suggest that SLE is associated with autoimmune thyroiditis and that many patients with SLE have minor hypothyroidism. | ||
