Özet
Thyroid hormones are one of the most effective hormones on musculoskeletal system. It is well known that thyroid gland dysfunctions cause a variety of rheumatologic signs and symptoms including muscle weakness, fatigue and osteopenia. We aimed to evaluate the effects of thyroid function diseases on the occurrance of rheumatological diseases and coincidency of these two entities. 873 patients with rheumatological disorders were involved to the study. 1.01% of patients with osteoarthritis had subclinical hypothyroidism, 3.03% had subclinical hyperthyroidism, 1.77% had clinical hyperthyroidism. 2.5% of patients with osteoporosis had subclinical hypothyroidism, 11.95% had subclinical hyperthyroidism, 2.17% had clinical hyperthyroidism. 0.8% of patients with soft tissue rheumatological diseases had subclinical hypothyroidism, 5.3% had subclinical hyperthyroidism and 3.84% of patients with discus diseases had subclinical hyperthyroidism. 2.08% of patients with fibromyalgia had subclinical hypothyroidism, 2.08% of patients with fibromyalgia had subclinical hyperthyroidism. 11.76% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, 3.3% of patients with ancylosing spondylitis, 7.6% of patients with carpal-tunnel syndrome had subclinical hyperthyroidism. Two patients with systemic sclerosis and overlap syndrome had normal thyroid functions. c As a result, a variety of rheumatological and thyroid pathologies may overlap and thyroid diseases should always be in mind when evaluating rheumatological diseases. With proper combined treatment we can get better results.
