Correlation between TSH Receptor Antibody Level with Vitamin D Level and Thyroid Hormones in Patients with Graves’ Disease
Journal Title: Vajira Medical Journal: Journal of Urban Medicine - Year 2021, Vol 65, Issue 1
Abstract
Objectives: 1. To investigate the relationship between the levels of TSH receptor antibody (TRAb) and the levels of vitamin D in the patients with newly diagnosis of Graves’ Disease (GD) and relapsed GD. 2. To investigate the relationship between the levels of TSH receptor antibody (TRAb) and the levels of Thyroid hormone in the patients with newly diagnosis of Graves’ Disease (GD) and relapsed GD. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study in the Faculty of Medicine Vajira Hospital, Navamindradhiraj University. The eligible patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed GD from April 1st, 2018 to January 31st, 2019 were enrolled. The correlation of TRAb with vitamin D 25(OH)D and thyroid hormones was analyzed by using Pearson correlation. Results: A total of 59 patients was divided into first diagnosed 29 patients, and relapsed GD 30 patients. There was no significant correlation between the TRAb levels and the vitamin D levels in the first diagnosis of GD (r = -0.148, p=0.266) and relapsed disease (r = -0.132, p = 0.488). We found weak correlation between the levels of TRAb and FT4 (r = 0.264, p = 0.043) and also found weak correlation between the levels of TRAb and FT3 (r = 0.379, p = 0.003). Nevertheless, the significant correlation between the levels of TRAb and FT4 (r = 0.504, p = 0.005) and the significant correlation between the levels of TRAb and FT3 (r = 0.555, p = 0.002) were found only in the newly diagnosis patients. Conclusions: There was no significant correlation between the TRAb levels and the vitamin D levels in the patients with newly diagnosis and relapsed GD. However, the levels of TRAb significantly showed moderate statistical correlation between the levels of FT4 and FT3 in the patient with newly diagnosed Grave’s disease.
