Abstract

Amaç: Tiroid bezinin inflamatuvar bir hastalığı
olan subakut tiroidit tirotoksikozların nadir bir nedenidir. Çalışmamızda endokrinoloji
polikliniğimize başvurup subakut tiroidit tanısı alan hastaları retrospektif
olarak inceleyip bu hastalarda tanı koymada yeni ipuçlarını araştırmayı amaçladık.

Gereç ve Yöntem: 2010–2014 yılları
arasında polikliniğimize başvurup subakut tiroidit tanısı alan 50 hasta ile
tiroid bezi ile ilgili herhangi bir patolojisi olmayan, kontrol amaçlı
polikliniğe başvuran 50 sağlıklı kişi olmak üzere toplam 100 kişi çalışmaya
dahil edildi.  Hasta verileri
retrospektif olarak incelendi.

Bulgular: Subakut tiroiditli hastaların yaş
ortalaması 39.9±12.2 yıl olup %72’si (n:36) kadındı. Hastaların %42’si
sonbahar, %26’sı ilkbahar, %20’si yaz ve %12’si kış mevsiminde tanı almışlardı.
Sedimantasyon hızı ve CRP hasta grubunda anlamlı olarak yüksek bulundu
(sırasıyla; 53.7±14.22 mm/saat, 7.07±5.64 mg/dl, p<0.01). Lökosit sayısı,
nötrofil sayısı, nötrofil/lenfosit oranı ve T4/T3 oranı hasta grupta anlamlı
olarak yüksek bulunurken lenfosit sayısı arasında anlamlı fark saptanmadı.
Ortalama trombosit hacmi (MPV) kontrol grubuna kıyasla hasta grupta anlamlı
olarak düşük saptandı (p<0.01). Tiroid otoantikorları açısından yapılan
değerlendirmede anti tiroglobulin (Anti Tg) pozitifliği hasta grupta anlamlı
olarak yüksek bulundu (sırasıyla; %46.5 ve %12). Anti tiroid peroksidaz (Anti TPO)
pozitifliği açısından anlamlı fark bulunmadı.







Sonuç: Subakut tiroidit tanılı hastalarda Anti Tg
düzeylerinin yüksek olabileceği gözlenmiş olup, Anti Tg pozitif hastalarda
subakut tiroidit tanısı dışlanmamalıdır. Subakut tiroiditli hastalarda T4/T3
oranı ve nötrofil/lenfosit oranının artmış olduğunu, MPV düzeyinin ise düşük
olduğunu saptadık. Bu parametrelerin subakut tiroidit ile diğer
tirotoksikoz/hipertiroidi nedenleri arasında ayırıcı tanıda kullanılması için
başka çalışmalarla desteklenmesi gerekmektedir.

Demographic characteristics of patients with subacute thyroiditis and analysis of laboratory data: single center experience

Abstract

Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate retrospectively the patients
diagnosed with subacute thyroiditis who were admitted to our endocrinology
outpatient clinic and to search for new clues in diagnosis of these patients.



Materials and Methods: Fifty patients with subacute thyroiditis and 50
patients without any thyroid disease were included in the study. Patient data
were analyzed retrospectively.

Results: The mean age of the patients with subacute thyroiditis was 39.9±12.2
years and 72% (n:36) were female. Subacute thyroiditis was diagnosed in 42% of
the patients in autumn, 26% in spring, 20% in summer and 12% in winter.
Sedimentation rate and CRP were significantly higher in the patient group
(53.7±14.22 mm/h, 7.07±5.64 mg/dl, respectively, p<0.01). Leukocyte count,
neutrophil count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and T4/T3 ratio were
significantly higher in the patient group. Mean platelet volume (MPV) were
significantly lower in the patient group compared to the control group
(p<0.01). In the evaluation of thyroid autoantibodies, anti-thyroglobulin
(Anti Tg) positivity was significantly higher in the patient group (46.5% and
12%, respectively). There was no significant difference in anti-thyroid
peroxidase (Anti TPO) positivity.



Conclusion: Anti Tg levels may be elevated in patients with subacute thyroiditis.
Subacute thyroiditis should not be excluded in anti Tg positive patients. We
found that T4/T3 ratio and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio were increased and MPV
level was low in patients with subacute thyroiditis. In order to use these
parameters in the differential diagnosis between subacute thyroiditis and other
causes of thyrotoxicosis/hyperthyroidism, should be supported by further
studies.
