Unveiling the Link Between Vitamin D, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, and Thyroid Functions: A Retrospective Study
In conclusion, while vitamin D levels were higher in the HT group compared to the non-HT group, no clinically significant association between vitamin D levels and HT or autoantibody positivity was observed. Vitamin D deficiency was more prevalent in the hypothyroid group compared to the euthyroid group. This study suggests that although vitamin D deficiency may not be directly involved in the pathogenesis of HT, it may still play a role in modulating immune activity or influencing the disease phenotype..
