Description
Summary:The current century has been declared by the WHO as the «century of autoimmune diseases», of which there are more than a hundred today. The natural course of any autoimmune disease is characterized by progression from a latent and subclinical to a clinical stage and is associated with the presence of specific circulating autoantibodies. During the life of a person with one verified autoimmune disease, there is a high probability of consecutive manifestation of other autoimmune pathologies. Every fourth patient with chronic autoimmune thyroiditis develops autoimmune non-thyroid pathologies during his life, and vice versa, chronic autoimmune thyroiditis is present among people with non-thyroid autoimmune diseases. Modern ideas about the pathogenetic mechanisms of the development and progression of autoimmune diseases make it possible to consider chronic autoimmune thyroiditis as a «signal pathology» in the multiorgan autoimmune syndrome.
