This study found that women with PCOS have significantly higher prevalence and levels of thyroid autoantibodies, with these elevated levels suggesting a potential independent autoimmune activation associated with PCOS.

This study observed that among rheumatoid arthritis patients, 22% had thyroid dysfunction, with hypothyroidism as the most common, and weight gain and cold intolerance were significant predictors.

This study suggests that thyroid autoimmunity may play a role in telogen effluvium pathogenesis, indicating a need for evaluating thyroid autoantibodies in addition to thyroid function tests in these patients.

This study found that women with PCOS had significantly higher levels of several autoantibodies compared to healthy controls, suggesting a potential autoimmune component to PCOS that might aid in better disease characterization and personalized management.

This article reviews the influence of thyroid hormone on skin and hair health, emphasizing its role in epidermal homeostasis and hair growth, but reports no new experimental results.

In this study, researchers examined thyroid function and autoantibody levels in patients with alopecia areata and vitiligo, finding similar rates of thyroid dysfunction and autoantibody presence in both groups, with no significant differences based on ethnicity or gender.

This case study identified a 22-year-old patient with multiple autoimmune syndrome type 3, involving lupus erythematosus, autoimmune thyroiditis, alopecia areata, and vitiligo.

This case report identified dystrophic anagen effluvium as a previously unreported dermatological side effect of PEG-INF-α-2a/RBV combination therapy in a patient with chronic hepatitis C infection.

This study found that 42% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus in India had thyroid dysfunction, predominantly hypothyroidism, which was independent of lupus disease activity.

Some people with chronic hair loss may have thyroid autoimmunity.

In this study, alopecia areata was associated with thyroid autoimmunity but not islet autoimmunity, correlating with specific class II HLA haplotypes linked to various autoimmune diseases.

Hair loss is often linked to thyroid problems, especially in women and older people, and screening for thyroid issues is advised for those with hair loss.

Selenium helps prevent thyroid issues and cognitive decline in the elderly, but balance is key.

This report presents a case of a child with hypothyroidism and poorly controlled type 1 diabetes developing both Mauriac syndrome and Van Wyk–Grumbach syndrome, two rare complications.

This study found that the R257X mutation in the AIRE gene is prevalent among Russian patients with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, particularly in those with hypoparathyroidism and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis.

Thyroid disease can cause hair loss and treating thyroid problems might help with hair disorders.

This study found that female pattern hair loss is more common in women with thyroid disease and is associated with the duration of the disease, while alopecia areata is not more frequent.

This study found that topical clobetasol propionate cream provided a modest improvement in hair regrowth for alopecia areata patients, though those with atopy had higher relapse rates after treatment completion.

This study found a significant association between higher serum anti-thyroperoxidase (anti-TPO) antibody levels and the occurrence of chronic spontaneous urticaria, suggesting that testing for anti-TPO antibodies alongside primary thyroid markers might be important in managing this condition.

This case report from Tishreen Hospital describes the rare presentation of lupus erythematosus tumidus and autoimmune thyroid dysfunction as initial manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis for better outcomes.

This study found that all examined biomarkers and clinical features were elevated in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, particularly ANA and Anti-dsDNA autoantibodies, but no single biomarker was sensitive or specific enough for diagnosis.

In this study, subclinical hypothyroidism in women with PCOS was linked to changes in the thyroid-prolactin axis and a lack of correlation between TSH and AMH, while gonadotropin levels and ovarian morphology remained unaffected, indicating the need for further prospective research.

This case report from a pediatric setting highlighted how an 11-year-old with Hashimoto thyroiditis experienced atypical manifestations such as short stature, pubertal issues, and hair loss after starting levothyroxine therapy, underscoring the need for early diagnosis and multidisciplinary care to improve health outcomes.

This review discusses the uncertain role of immune factors, particularly autoantibodies, in the development of alopecia areata and emphasizes that identifying key autoantigens could lead to targeted immunotherapies.

This review provides a detailed overview of Hashimoto thyroiditis, discussing its epidemiology, risk factors, genetic and environmental contributors, clinical presentations, diagnostic methods, and treatment options, emphasizing the importance of personalized treatment plans due to varied causes and symptoms.

Herpes gestationis is linked to certain antigens, atopic eczema affects T cell populations and may be eased by breastfeeding, higher doses of anti-androgen treatment can improve androgenic alopecia, topical minoxidil increases hair thickness, long-term methotrexate therapy can cause liver fibrosis in psoriasis patients, and Lichen Sclerosus et Atrophicus patients aren't at higher risk for autoimmune disorders.

This article reviews evidence suggesting that vitamin D may help manage Hashimoto’s thyroiditis by affecting immune pathways and improving thyroid function, though more research is needed to fully understand its therapeutic potential.

This review discusses the complexities of interpreting thyroid function tests, highlighting the challenges primary care providers face due to patient demand and misinformation, but reports no new results.

This study found that thyroid dysfunction was significantly more frequent in patients with alopecia areata compared to a control group, even when they lacked symptoms of thyroid issues, supporting the need for routine thyroid screening in this population.

This narrative review found a strong association between alopecia areata and autoimmune thyroid diseases, suggesting routine thyroid function and autoantibody screening could be beneficial for certain patients with extensive, recurrent, or early-onset alopecia areata.
