Journal Title: Міжнародний ендокринологічний журнал - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 60
Abstract
According to the objective of the study, we have carried out a research of clinical relationships between diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 and nonmalignant thyroid disease in victims of Chernobyl disaster in remote post-accident period (148 persons) and in control group (38 persons). We have obtained data on the nature and incidence of thyroid organic pathology. The incidence of thyroid organic pathology in patients with DM type 2, who are victims of Chernobyl disaster (58.3 ± 6.3 %), is statistically significant (p < 0.05) higher than in control group (43.1 ± 3.9 %). Dominating pathology in patients with type 2 DM, who are victims of Chernobyl disaster, is nodular euthyroid goiter, the incidence of which (26.7 ± 5.7 %) in 3.3 time higher (p < 0.01) than in control group (8.1 ± 2.2 %), and depends on sex, age and duration of underlying disease.
