Aim . This study aimed to compare thyroid functions, autoantibodies, and the existence of nonthyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS) according vitamin D level. Materials Methods The included age- BMI-matched healthy volunteers with without deficiency. In addition, status was evaluated. Results Anti-TPO positivity significantly more common in those severe moderate deficiency, as compared a normal 25(OH)D Furthermore, TSH levels were lower deficiency than there significant weak inverse correlation between anti-TPO level positive Only 1 function test result compatible NTIS among participants deficiency; therefore difference not significant. Conclusions prevalence autoantibody higher Additional large-scale studies must be conducted determine if plays causal role pathogenesis Hashimoto’s thyroiditis NTIS.
