Abstract:
Objective To explore the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and thyroid diseases by analyzing the abnormal status of thyroid hormone and antibodies in T2DM patients and the healthy control group.Methods The serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH),free triiodothyronine (FT3),free thyroxine (FT4),anti-thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb)and anti -thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb)were measured in 396 patients with T2DM and 411 healthy persons.Results In the healthy group,the incidence rate of abnormal thyroid hormone was 7.5%,in which the male was 5.5% and female was 9.4%,the incidence rate of subclinical hypothyroidism in females was 4.7%,which was higher than 1.5% in males,there was statistically significant difference between them(P <0.05);the positive rate of TPOAb in the healthy control group was 10.2% and the positive rate of TGAb was 6.6%;in T2DM patients,the incidence rate of thyroid hormone abnormalities was 16.2%,which in males and females were 12.3% and 20.5% respectively,among them the incidence rate of subclinical hypothyroidism in females was 9.2%,which was significantly higher than 4.3% in males,the difference had statistical significance (P <0.01),T2DM patients with subclinical hypo-thyroidism accounted for 40.6% of thyroid dysfunction incidence rate;the positive rate of TPOAb was 15.2% and the positive rate of TGAb was 7.1 %.Conclusion The incidence rate of thyroid diseases in T2DM patients is significantly increased compared with the healthy control group,subclinical hypothyroidism in females is predominant;screening thyroid autoantibodies and monitoring FT3,FT4 and TSH at regular intervals in T2DM have the important clinical significance for evaluating the disease condition,jud-ging prognosis and guiding treatment.
