Malabsorption of thyroxine has been described in patients treated with drugs that modify an acidic environment. We determined whether there is increased need for euthyroid multinodular goiter and impaired secretion gastric acid.We assessed the dose required to obtain a low level thyrotropin (0.05 0.20 mU per liter) 248 goiter. Of these patients, 53 also had Helicobacter pylori-related gastritis 60 atrophic body stomach (31 evidence H. pylori infection 29 without such evidence). The reference...
Replacement T4 dose in hypothyroid patients bearing both chronic autoimmune thyroiditis and atypical celiac disease (CD) has been analyzed.Replacement analyzed 35 with Hashimoto's (HT) CD, as defined by the American Gastroenterological Association. We have evaluated ability of same to reach target TSH 21 before during gluten-free diet (GFD). In remaining 14 patients, noncompliant GFD, we replacement compared it that a similar group consisting 68 HT but no evidence sprue or other conditions...
Atrophic body gastritis (ABG) has never been histologically characterized in patients with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), and its prevalence may be substantially different from that previously assessed based on only indirect evidence.To detect characterize the presence of ABG AITD.Sixty-two AITD (5 men 57 women), aged between 21 74 years, have screened for by assaying serum gastrin levels. Patients hypergastrinemia underwent gastroscopy followed histological examination multiple biopsy...
The reported reliability of core needle biopsy (CNB) is high in assessing thyroid nodules after inconclusive fine-needle aspiration (FNA) attempts. However, first-line use CNB for considered at risk by ultrasonography (US) has yet to be studied. aim this study were: 1) evaluate the potential merit using instead conventional FNA with suspicious ultrasonographic features; 2) compare and as a diagnostic procedure lesions higher cancer. Seventy-seven patients suspicious-appearing, recently...
An increased need for T4 has been described in patients with different gastrointestinal disorders. However, there is a lack of systematic studies assessing the hypothyroid lactose intolerance, widespread and often occult disorder. The objective study was to assess replacement dose required intolerance. This cohort study. conducted at an outpatient endocrinology unit University Hospital. analyzed, from 2009 2012, 34 due Hashimoto's thyroiditis intolerance being noncompliant lactose-free diet....
Objectives: The goal of evidence-based practice guidelines is to optimize the management emerging diseases, such as differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). aim this study was assess therapeutic approaches for DTC in Italy and see how closely these practices conformed those recommended 2009 American Thyroid Association (ATA) guidelines. Methods: Italian Cancer Observatory established collect data prospectively on cancers consecutively diagnosed participating centers (uniformly distributed across...
Abstract Context The risk stratification of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is crucial in clinical decision making. most widely accepted method to assess recurrent/persistent disease described the 2015 American Thyroid Association (ATA) guidelines. However, recent research has focused on inclusion novel features or questioned relevance currently included features. Objective To develop a comprehensive data-driven model predict persistent/recurrent that can capture all...
