FEATURES OF THE TREATMENT OF AUTOIMMUNE THYROID DISEASES IN ADOLESCENT BOYS

This study examined clinical features, immunological markers, and hormonal profiles of autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) in 72 adolescent males aged 12–17 years. Anti-TPO titers (248.6±32.4 IU/mL) and TSH levels (5.8±1.2 mIU/L) were significantly elevated compared to controls (p<0.001). Subclinical hypothyroidism was detected in 43.1% of cases. The findings support the need for broader AIT screening in adolescent males.
