Abstract:Objective To observe the effects of Yiqi Huayu Recipe on the thyroid autoantibodies and thyroid function in Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) patients with normal thyroid function. Methods From July 2016 to February 2017, a total of 112 patients of HT with normal thyroid function in Department of Thyroid, Hubei Huanggang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, were recruited in this study. They were randomly classified into treatment group and control group, with 56 cases in each group. The treatment group was given Chinese medicine compound preparation of Yiqi Huayu Recipe, the control group did not take any medication, they were only taken iodine deficient diet. The two groups were treated for 6 months, The thyroid autoantibodies [thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb)] and thyroid function [thyrotropic hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4)] were measured before and after treatment. Results The levels of TPOAb and TgAb in the treatment group were both lower than those before treatment, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05), which were significantly lower than those of control group (P < 0.05); the levels of TPOAb and TgAb in the control group were significantly higher than those before treatment, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). After treatment, the level of TSH in the control group was significantly higher than that before treatment, which was significantly higher than that of treatment group (P < 0.05), there was no statistically significant difference of TSH in the treatment group before and after treatment (P > 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences of FT3 and FT4 before and after treatment in the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Chinese medicine compound preparation of Yiqi Huayu Recipe can reduce the levels of TPOAb and TgAb in HT patients with normal thyroid function, but it has little effects on thyroid function; iodine deficient diet can not control the increase of TPOAb, TgAb and TSH in HT patients.
