Abstract

Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide
(anti-CCP) antibodies are one of the diagnostic markers of rheumatoid arthri-
tis (RA), but can also be found
in other diseases
such as systemic
lupus erythematosus, primary
Sjogren’s syndrome. So far, there has been no data available which identified prevalence of anti-CCP in patients with thyroid autoimmun- ity (TA). We aimed to
identify anti-CCP prevalence in adult patients with  TA.

Material and Methods: We reviewed retrospectively medical records of
1282 patients including TPO-Ab, TRAb, rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-CCP
antibodies in the computer database between the dates of January 2010 and Oc-
tober 2014. TA diagnosis was made if
thyroid autoantibodies were higher than the upper limit of normal. Anti-CCP and RF positivity were considered if the values
exceeded the upper
limit of normal.
Patients with or without TA were compared in terms of the prevalence
of anti-CCP antibodies.

Results:In group with TA, TPO-Ab, TRAb, CCP, and RF were detected
in 332 (99%), 7 (2%), 44 (13%), and 78 (23%) patients respectively. In group
without TA, CCP was detected in 70 patients (7.4%), and RF was detected in 378
(20%) patients. The positive rates of anti-CCP were significantly higher in
patients with TA than the patients without TA (13% vs.7.4%, p<0.001).
However, there was no difference in RF positivity between the  groups.







Conclusion: Our study indicates an increased prevalence of anti-CCP
antibodies in patients with TA. It is suggested that anti-CCP antibodies can
also be shown in patients with TAin addition to 
RA.

Tiroid otoimmünitesi olan hastalarda anti-siklik sitrülinlenmiş peptit (anti-CCP) antikor yaygınlığı

Year 2016, Volume: 8 Issue: 4, 182 - 185, 28.12.2016

Abstract

Amaç:
Anti-CCP antikorları romatoid
artritin (RA) tanı koydurucu belirteçlerinden bir tanesi olmakla birlikte sis-
temik lupus eritematozus (SLE), primer Sjögren sendromu (pSS) gibi diğer
hastalıklarda da saptanabilmektedir. Yetişkinlerde tiroid otoimmünitesi (TO) ve
anti-CCP pozitifliğiyle ilgili günümüze kadar herhangi bir veri yayın-
lanmamıştır. Biz bu çalışmada yetişkin TO olan hastalarda anti-CCP pozitifliği
yaygınlığını saptamayı amaçladık.

Yöntem
ve Gereçler:
Ocak 2010-Ekim
2014 tarihleri arasında anti-CCP, RF ve anti-tiroid peroksidoz (anti-TPO)
ve/veya TSH reseptör antikoru (TRAb) istenen 1282 hastanın kayıtları tıbbi
kayıt sisteminden retrospektif olarak incelendi. TO, tanısı tiroid
otoantikorlarının normal değerlerinin üst sınırının üzerinde saptanması ile
kondu. RF ve anti-CCP pozitifliği değerler normal aralığın üzerinde olduğu
zaman düşünüldü.

Bulgular:
TO olan grupta,TPO-Ab, TRAb,
CCP ve RF pozitifliği sırasıyla 332 (%99), 7 (%2), 44 (%13), ve 78 (%23) olarak
saptandı. TO olmayan grupta 70 kişide Anti-CCP
pozitifliği (%7.4) ve 378 kişide RF pozitifliği (%20) saptandı. Anti-CCP
pozitiflik oranı TO olan grupta TO olmayan gruba göre anlamlı olarak daha
yüksek saptandı (%13 vs.%7.4, p<0.001). Ancak RF pozitifliği yönünden
gruplar arasında anlamlı olarak fark  yoktu.







Sonuç:
Bizim çalışmamız TO olan
hastalarda anti-CCP prevalansının arttığını göstermiştir. Bu da bize Anti-CCP
antikorlarının RA’ya ek olarak TO olanlarda da görülebileceğini düşündürür.
