Alopecia Areata in Twins With Autoimmune Thyroiditis: Personal Observations	2019	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1349	82	54	The results of the laboratory tests were suggestive of autoimmune thyroiditis in both patients, as the autoantibody values were very high (twin A: thyroglobulin antibodies 28.7 IU/mL, thyroperoxidase antibodies 617.46 IU/mL; twin B: thyroglobulin antibodies 44.51 IU/mL, thyroperoxidase antibodies >1,000.00 IU/mL); furthermore, twin A also had above-average blood test results: total antioxidant status 494 IU/mL, hemoglobin 11.6 g/dL, transferrin 398 mg/mL, and ferritin 6.67 ng/mL; twin B also had elevated total antioxi- dant status (407 IU/mL) and vitamin D (10 ng/mL) levels. In patients affected by autoimmune thyroid diseases, the functions of the different skin cell types may be affected not only by variation in thyroid hormone levels but also by the presence of thyroid-specific autoantibodies [3].	cache/dpc-655.pdf	txt/dpc-655.txt
