Popis: Objective: To evaluate the effect of selenium supplementation on autoantibody titers, thyroid ultrasonography and thyroid function in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (autoimmune thyroiditis) and normal thyroid reference range. Methods: A total of 100 patients were given 200 ug/d selenium yeast orally, their thyroid function, levels of serum selenium, thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb), thyroglobulin antibodies (TGAb) and urine iodine were measured and thyroid ultrasonography was performed before administration and three and six months afterwards, and the data were statistically analysed. Results: The subjects exhibited a selenium deficiency before the administration of selenium, and the serum levels increased to moderate levels three and six months after the selenium supplementation (p
