Klotho and FGF23 levels in Hashimoto's thyroiditis
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a specific protein (called Klotho) and a hormone (FGF23) are different in people who have Hashimoto's thyroiditis compared to those who don't. It's a simple blood test study that might help doctors understand the condition better. You just give a blood sample, and it may lead to better ways to manage or diagnose Hashimoto's in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is a condition where your immune system attacks your thyroid gland, causing low thyroid hormone levels.
- You do not have any other autoimmune diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not had any active infections or inflammatory conditions in the past month.
- You are not currently taking certain medications like steroids, immune-suppressing drugs, phosphate binders, or active vitamin D.

This study observes people with various thyroid conditions, including overactive or underactive thyroid, to learn more about how these disorders develop and progress over time. It may help improve future diagnosis and treatment.
This study looks at the connection between thyroid problems (especially when the thyroid doesn't make enough hormone) and a common liver condition where fat builds up in the liver. Researchers want to understand how these two conditions relate to each other in people without diabetes.
This study tests whether a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) — putting healthy donor bacteria into your gut — can help improve blood sugar and thyroid antibody levels in people with type 2 diabetes and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. If you qualify, you might get a chance to try this new approach.
This study checks for early signs of type 1 diabetes in people with autoimmune thyroid disease. It is a screening study that may help you understand your risk for the future.
This study looks at whether children with autoimmune hepatitis (a liver disease where the immune system attacks the liver) also have thyroid problems. It may help doctors understand and manage these related conditions better.
This study looks at a blood hormone called FGF23 and whether it is linked to heart (cardiovascular) problems in people with anemia. It also compares people with anemia who do and do not have chronic kidney disease, which may help researchers understand risk and targets.
