Abstract
Background: The deficiency or insufficiency of Vitamin D has been widely reported to be linked with autoimmune thyroid diseases. Several studies were evaluated the immunomodulatory effects of 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and its counterparts in autoimmune diseases especially in autoimmune thyroiditis.

Aim and Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the Vitamin D status in children with autoimmune thyroiditis at tertiary care hospital, Sangareddy, Telangana.

Materials and Methods: A source of 80 newly diagnosed cases with autoimmune thyroiditis and similar volume of age and sex matched control subjects between ≥6 and 12 years were included in the study. Parameters such as thyroid function tests, serum calcium, serum phosphorus, serum alkaline phosphatase, 25(OH)D, and antithyroid antibodies levels were assessed. The antithyroid antibodies levels were assessed through chemiluminescence assay.

Results: The 25(OH)D levels were 14.98ng/ml in cases and 17.46 ng/ml in control subjects. The mean levels of 25(OH)D, serum calcium, and alkaline phosphatase were statistically significant (P < 0.05).

Conclusion: The levels of Vitamin D and four groups of antithyroid peroxidase antibody and antithyroglobulin antibody among cases and control subjects were not significant (P > 0.05). The estimation of Vitamin D in high-risk group may be helpful in designing the treatment strategies to decrease the morbidity.

Key words: 25 Hydroxyvitamin D; Antithyroid Peroxidase Antibody; Antithyroglobulin Antibody; Autoimmune Thyroiditis
