Abstract:Objective To explore the relationships between TmAb, TgAb and thyroid function in the patients with newly-diagnosed Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT). Mehtods The cases of goiter patients (n = 313) were collected, which included HT patients (n = 132) and non-HT patients (n = 181). Serum TmAb, TgAb, TSH, FT3, FT4, TT3 and TT4 of each patient were detected, and the sizes of thyroid gland were recorded through ultrosonography. The correlations of TmAb and TgAb with thyroid function were analyzed. Results Compared with the non-HT group, the patients’ age was younger, and the TSH level was higher in the HT group (P < 0.05). The levels of TSH, TmAb and TgAb in the female HT patients were comparable to those in the male HT patients. However, the levels of FT3, FT4, TT3 and TT4 in the female HT patients were lower than those in the male HT patients (P < 0.05). The levels of FT3 and FT4 in the female non-HT patients were lower than those in the male non-HT patients, and their age was younger than that in the male non-HT patients (P < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that TmAb was positively correlated with TSH, and negatively correlated with FT4 in the patients with HT (P < 0.05); TgAb was negatively correlated with FT3, FT4 and TT4 (P < 0.05). Conclusions In newly-diagnosed HT patients, TmAb, TgAb and gender are closely correlated with the function of thyroid and these two antibodies indicate different patterns in thyroid damage.
