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.

In this hospital-based cross-sectional study, researchers found that alopecia is more prevalent in younger patients, with alopecia areata and lichen planopilaris being the most common types among noncicatricial and cicatricial cases, respectively; additionally, thyroid abnormalities were frequently associated with both types of alopecia.

Children with alopecia areata should only get thyroid screening if they have Down syndrome, a family history of thyroid disease, atopy, or signs of thyroid problems.

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 dysfunctions were present in a significant number of women with diffuse hair loss, suggesting the importance of investigating thyroid functions in these patients.

This study found that alopecia areata is significantly associated with thyroid autoimmunity, but not with clinical or subclinical thyroid disease, in the Pakistani population.

This study found that subclinical hypothyroidism was present in nearly 19% of women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, with no significant associations between thyroid dysfunction and most clinical features, but higher prevalence noted in those with hair loss and heavy menstrual bleeding.

This study suggests that hormonal changes may contribute to the persistent symptoms of long COVID, with specific patterns observed in serum hormone levels related to fatigue and sensory dysfunction.

This study found that patients with alopecia areata had significantly higher serum T3 and cortisol levels compared to healthy controls, although both remained within normal ranges, highlighting potential hormonal involvement in the condition. However, no significant differences were observed in T4 and TSH levels.

This study found a strong association between thyroid disorders and dermatological conditions such as vitiligo, alopecia areata, and melasma, suggesting a benefit to including thyroid function tests in routine investigations for these conditions.

In this study, researchers found that women with PCOS and thyroid dysfunction had significantly altered T3 and T4 hormone levels and more frequent symptoms like weight gain and irregular menstrual cycles, suggesting the importance of thyroid screenings for personalized treatment strategies.

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.

This study found that women with epilepsy on carbamazepine and sodium valproate monotherapy experienced more significant weight gain but showed no difference in PCOS incidence compared to phenytoin users; elevated TSH levels were more common among those on sodium valproate.

Higher thyroid hormone levels may be linked to certain types of polycystic ovary syndrome.

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 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.

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.

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 study found that vitamin D, vitamin B12, and iron deficiencies, along with thyroid dysfunction, may be associated with telogen effluvium.

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

This study found that patients with thyroid dysfunction were more likely to experience skin disorders such as chronic idiopathic urticaria, vitiligo, and alopecia areata compared to a control group.

This study offers genetic evidence supporting a causal relationship between thyroid dysfunction and alopecia areata, which may help in managing and treating AA patients.

This study reviewed existing literature to demonstrate that thyroid disorders have a significant and underestimated impact on hair loss, highlighting gaps in current knowledge and the need for further research to better diagnose and manage hair disorders linked to thyroid dysfunction.

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 study recommends limiting routine thyroid function screening to children with alopecia areata who have medical histories of Down syndrome, atopy, or family histories of thyroid disease.

This study observed that patients with alopecia areata have a significantly higher prevalence of thyroid disorders and elevated levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone and thyroid auto-antibodies compared to healthy individuals, with a 4.7 times greater risk of thyroid dysfunction among alopecia areata patients.

This case study highlighted that excessive iodide intake from the supplement TauriNac was associated with the development of hypothyroidism in a cystic fibrosis patient, which reversed upon discontinuation.

Older men's scalp damage increases with age and sun exposure, a baby girl in the Philippines has Schimmelpenning syndrome, and thyroid screening is advised for children with hair loss and certain risk factors.

This review discusses the definition of polycystic ovary syndrome proposed by the AE-PCOS Society Task Force, emphasizing hyperandrogenism, ovarian dysfunction, and excluding related disorders, while noting potential variations needing more research.

The authors of this review explore the link between thyroid disorders and skin conditions in children, highlighting how conditions like chronic urticaria, vitiligo, and alopecia may signal underlying thyroid issues and emphasizing the importance of early detection for timely diagnosis and personalized treatment.
