Finally, the results demonstrate the merit of the recursive-based model in analyzing various scenarios, which may provide suitable information for health politicians and…[Read more]

8 vs 1.46, p < 0.001). The increase of TPOAb was significantly correlated with the severity of fatty liver. HbA1c, TC, TG, TSH, TPOAb/TGAb and severity of fatty liver were risk factors of thyroid autoimmunity.

Autoimmune thyroid disease is more common in patients with T2DM complicated with NAFLD. Elevated TPOAb titer is closely related to…[Read more]
