Thyroid function and antibody studies in pernicious anaemia. 1977

G Krassas, and S McHardy-Young, and I Ramsay, and A Florin-Christensen

Thyroid antibodies were demonstrated in 57% of thirty pernicious anaemia patients without overt thyroid disease. Elevated basal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and an enhaced TSH response to thyrotrophin releasing hormone (TRH) only occurred in thyroid antibody positive subjects; by contrast the thyroid antibody negative subjects in the older age group frequently and undetecable basal TSH levels and an impaired TRH response. Thyroid hormone concentrations provided no absolute evidence of hypothyroidism in any of the patients.

D000752 Anemia, Pernicious A megaloblastic anemia occurring in children but more commonly in later life, characterized by histamine-fast achlorhydria, in which the laboratory and clinical manifestations are based on malabsorption of vitamin B 12 due to a failure of the gastric mucosa to secrete adequate and potent intrinsic factor.

D000906 Antibodies Immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the ANTIGEN (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially PLASMA CELLS).
D013961 Thyroid Gland A highly vascularized endocrine gland consisting of two lobes joined by a thin band of tissue with one lobe on each side of the TRACHEA. It secretes THYROID HORMONES from the follicular cells and CALCITONIN from the parafollicular cells thereby regulating METABOLISM and CALCIUM level in blood, respectively.

D013972 Thyrotropin A glycoprotein hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Thyrotropin stimulates THYROID GLAND by increasing the iodide transport, synthesis and release of thyroid hormones (THYROXINE and TRIIODOTHYRONINE). Thyrotropin consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH; LUTEINIZING HORMONE and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.
