Thyroid disorders in systemic lupus erythematosus

K L Goh et al. Ann Rheum Dis. 1986 Jul.

Abstract

Of 319 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), nine had thyrotoxicosis, three had hypothyroidism, and two had thyroiditis. This prevalence seems greater than that of similar thyroid disorders seen in the general population. It is suggested that patients with autoimmune thyroid disorders may develop SLE or vice versa. This association requires confirmation by prospective study.
