Correlation of thyroid hormone levels and immune function state with the illness in patients with chronic urticaria

摘要

Objective:To study the correlation of thyroid hormone level and immune function state with the illness in patients with chronic urticaria.Methods:A total of 54 patients with chronic urticaria treated in our hospital between May 2015 and October 2015 were selected as the chronic urticaria group (CU group) of the study, 50 healthy volunteers receiving physical examination in our hospital during the same period were selected as the negative control group (NC group) of the study, serum was collected to determine the content of immunoglobulins, complements, interleukins, thyroid hormone and autoantibodies.Results: Serum C3, C4 and IL-2 content of CU group were significantly lower than those of NC group while IgG, IgE, IL-4, IL-17, IL-18 and IL-33 content were significantly higher than those of NC group; serum TT3, TT4, FT3, FT4, TSAb, TGAb, TPOAb and TMAb content of CU group were significantly higher than those of NC group, negatively correlated with serum C3, C4 and IL-2 content, and positively correlated with serum IgG, IgE, IL-4, IL-17, IL-18 and IL-33 content;serum TSH content was significantly lower than that of NC group, positively correlated with serum C3, C4 and IL-2 content, and negatively correlated with serum IgG, IgE, IL-4, IL-17, IL-18 and IL-33 content.Conclusions: Thyroid autoantibody synthesis and thyroid hormone release increase in patients with chronic urticaria, and the change of thyroid hormone levels and immune function is closely related to the illness.
