Antithyroid antibodies and parity: further evidence for microchimerism in autoimmune thyroid disease by Lavena Mcfarlane https://padlet.com/lavena988/vpq8lrbc4wb8 Primary research article en-us 2017-11-26 23:14:40 UTC 2025-10-09 05:39:34 UTC hello@padlet.com The Artcle lavena988 https://padlet.com/lavena988/vpq8lrbc4wb8/wish/210217310 2017-11-26 23:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lavena988/vpq8lrbc4wb8/wish/210217310 Why lavena988 https://padlet.com/lavena988/vpq8lrbc4wb8/wish/210217433
  • AITD are more common in women
  • Microchimerism has been to provent to stimulate immune reaction - cells found within thyroid

  • Samples were taken from all women during the 20 weeks of pregnacy
  • Oly women who carried to term and delivered babies over 500g sample were tested 
  • Sample were tesed for TPO antibodies after birth
  • tests were then grouped based on age, parity, gavidity and other things 
  • > 500 was concider too high.

  • There is a connection between pregnacy and thyroid disease in women of reproductive age. 
  • I does not tell us weather microchimerism is the cause or a consquence of other facters during pregnancy.
  • Interest in microchimerism possibly be the cause of other conditions
