Often, HT presents a protean range of associated autoimmune features (AAI) such as vitiligo, rheumatoid arthritis, pernicious anemia, skin allergy\/atopy, thrombocytopenia, Addison's disease, type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, eosinophilia, etc., The usual treatment of HT is symptomatic with no curative option. In this context, we report our experience on the impact of surgical thyroidectomy on remission of AAI in HT.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To report our experience on the impact of surgical thyroidectomy on remission of AAI in patients with HT.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Material and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is a retrospective study conducted in the Endocrine Surgery department of a tertiary care hospital. A total of 61 patients with HT and various AAI combinations were included in this study. All the clinicoinvestigative and operative data were systematically analyzed. The most frequent indication for surgery was nodular goiter followed by associated malignancy, persistent goiter, and painful thyroiditis. Others were cosmetic\/pressure symptoms and not AAI per se. The mean follow-up after surgery was 55.6 \u00b1 11.8 months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The gender ratio was 5.8:1 in favor of women and the mean age was 41.5 \u00b1 5.4 years. The mean preoperative and postoperative serum anti-thyroperoxidase antibody (Anti-TPO Ab) levels were 339 \u00b1 98.2 and 58.75 \u00b1 25 IU\/L at the last follow-up visit. A total of 60% AAI manifestations had resolution or significant alleviation. The major improvements in AAI were skin allergy, eosinophilia, rheumatoid arthritis, vitiligo, thrombocytopenia, celiac disease symptomatic episodes; but, type 1 diabetes and Addison's disease showed static response.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Surgical total thyroidectomy and anti-TPO Ab-related autoimmunity appear to play a beneficial role and definitive role in the remission of AAI in HT.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/njcp.njcp_426_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,12]],"date-time":"2021-06-12T01:48:22Z","timestamp":1623462502000},"page":"905-910","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["What is the Impact of Thyroidectomy on Autoimmune Features Associated with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis?\u2014Institutional Experience"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"RB","family":"Panchangam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"SK","family":"Kota","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S","family":"Mayilvaganan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"BG","family":"Kuravi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-18-20240907","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"158","DOI":"10.1159\/000363162","article-title":"Clinical aspects of Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
