Objective: To investigate the correlation between autoimmune antibodies, ultrasonic elasticity score, and elasticity coefficient in patients with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (HT).
Methods: The thyroid function, the titer of the Thyroid globulin Antibody (TgAb) and Thyroid Peroxides Antibody (TPOAb) were detected by chemiluminescence method from the fasting serum of 258 patients suffering with HT; the ultrasonic elasticity score and elasticity coefficient were evaluated after detecting the patients’ thyroid with GELOGIQ3 type color doppler ultrasound diagnostic system and getting a satisfactory elastosonography. Then the correlation between autoimmune antibodies, ultrasonic elasticity score and elasticity coefficient were analyzed respectively.
Results: Serum Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), TGA and TPO in.. View More»
