[Autoantibodies to the thyroid gland in hemoblastoses and cytopenias].
OBJECTIVE
To study the level of thyroid antibodies (TAB) in blood diseases.


METHODS
TAB levels dynamics was studied in 413 patients with hematological diseases.


RESULTS
Increased incidence of cases with high Ab titer to thyroid microsomal antigen was found. High and moderate titers were revealed in 33% of all examinees, including 41%, 22%, 32% and 29% among patients with immune cytopenia, chronic lymphoid leukemia, generalized mature-cell lymphoma and myeloproliferative diseases, respectively. These high and moderate titers were rather stable. In 15% patients Ab were elevated insignificantly, this rise being unstable.


CONCLUSIONS
Stable high titers of antibodies to thyroid antigens point to increased incidence rates of concomitant autoimmune hyroiditis in patients with blood diseases.
