Clinical, subclinical characteristics and treatment outcome of patients with hashimoto ‘thyroiditis at Hanoi Medical University Hospital
Main Article Content
Abstract
The study was conducted on 98 patients newly diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, aiming to describe the clinical, subclinical characteristics and evaluate treatment outcomes for the aforementioned patients at Hanoi Medical University Hospital. The results indicated that Hashimoto's thyroiditis primarily affects females, with a female-to-male ratio of 7:1 and a mean age of 40.8 ± 15.1 years. The majority were aged between 30 and 40 years old (36.63%). Fatigue was the most commonly reported clinical symptom. 83.7% tested positive for Anti TPO antibodies, 71.2% for Anti Tg antibodies, and 4.1% were negative for both antibodies. Additionally, 45.9% of patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis had normal thyroid function, 33.7% had subclinical hypothyroidism, 19.4% had hypothyroidism, and 1% had hyperthyroidism. Thirty-six patients with hypothyroidism due to Hashimoto's thyroiditis were treated with Levothyroxine. After 8 weeks of follow-up, only 16 out of 36 patients reached the treatment goals.
