Hepatit C veya interferon tedavisi ile ilişkili tiroit hastalıkları
Journal Title: Journal of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Karaciğer dışı birçok hastalık kronik hepatit C virüs (HCV) enfeksiyonu (hematolojik hastalıklar, böbrek hastalığı, dermatolojik problemler) ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. HCV enfeksiyonunun klinik ya da subklinik oto-immün tiroid hastalıklarının artmış insidansıyla da ilişkili olduğu gösterilmiştir. Ayrıca, kronik HCV enfeksiyonunun interferon (IFN)-α ile tedavisi vakaların % 40’ına kadar olan kısmında subklinik veya klinik tiroidit ile ilişkilidir. İnterferon ilişkili tiroidit (İİT), otoimmün tip ve otoimmün olmayan tip olarak sınıflandırılabilir. Mevcut çalışmalar viral yük, viral genotip ve tedavi rejiminin kronik hepatit C hastalarında İİT gelişimini etkilemediğini, ayrıca İİT gelişmesinin kalıcı viral yanıt (KVY) için bir gösterge olmadığını, ancak, genetik faktörler, cinsiyet, HCV enfeksiyonu ve tiroid antikor (TAb) pozitifliğinin rol oynayabileceğini göstermektedir. Anahtar kelimeler: Hepatit C, interferon, tiroid hastalıkları
