Analysis of BPA Concentration in Serum in Women of Reproductive Age With Autoimmune Thyroid Disease
Analysis of BPA Concentration in Serum in Women of Reproductive Age With Autoimmune Thyroid Disease
The aim of the study is to assess the relationship between the concentration of bisphenol A
 in serum and selected parameters of thyroid function in women of reproductive age with
 thyroid dysfunction - Hashimoto's disease and Graves' disease.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Graves' disease or Hashimoto's disease (positive thyroid autoantibody)

 -  Control group: thyroid autoantibody negative, normal thyroid function

 -  Women aged 18 to 45 in both the control group and experimental group

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Pregnancy and lactating women

 -  Previous or planned treatment with 131I or thyroidectomy

 -  The use of drugs affecting the thyroid function (lithium, amiodarone, interferon a,
 sodium nitroprusside, sunitinib, sorafenib, iodine contrast, antibiotics / antifungals
 / antivirals (for at least 4 weeks prior to recruitment to the study), which do not
 result from the treatment of thyroid disease (levothyroxine, thyreostatic drugs,
 glucocorticoids)

 -  Active malignancy

 -  Other autoimmune diseases

 -  Other endocrine diseases

 -  Patients with severe liver, kidney or heart failure
