Introduction: Individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are at higher risk of developing other autoimmune disease, including autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD). The incidence of Hashimoto among people with T1D varies between 8 and 50%, depending on gender, age and ethnicity.Aim: To evaluate prevalence of anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) and its correlation to the presence of thyroid dysfunction in children and adults ...

Background: Children at type 1 diabetes (T1DM) diagnosis can develop ketoacidosis (DKA), a life-threatening condition, which is most frequently associated with the onset of diabetes in children aged <5 years.Aims and objectives: We studied the prevalence of DKA at T1DM diagnosis and the frequency of partial remission (PR) in children from Wielkopolska province, Poland.Method: The cohort comprised 735 children aged 0–18 yea...

Background: Patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) are at a high risk of having other autoimmunological diseases. The most common coexisting disease is autoimmune thyroiditis, which is diagnosed in 15–30% diabetic patients. The incidence of the disease depends on the age, sex, and duration of T1DM.Aims and objectives: This study aims to assess the prevalence of anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies in children with newly...

Background and Aims: A pre-clinical stage of type 1 diabetes (T1D) often precedes by many years the overt clinical symptoms. Diagnosis during this period is often difficult and is based on the presence of specific islet autoantibodies in the subject's blood. First-degree relatives of patients with T1D were tested using the 3 Screen ICA TM ELISA (RSR Ltd) for combined testing for autoantibodies to GAD65 (glutamic acid decarboxylase, 65kDa isoform), ZnT8 (z...
