Impaired Intestinal Absorption of Thyroid Hormone in a Case of Hashimoto's Disease with Anti-T3 and Anti-T4 Antibody Yutaka SUZUKI Department of Internal Medicine Saitama Chuo Hospital Saitama Eiko TAKESHITA and Shojiro KANO Department of Laboratory Medicine School of Medicine, Keio University Tokyo Shiro HIRATA and Seiya SATO Kitazato Biochemical Laboratories Kanagawa A 28 year old woman with Hashimoto's and triiodothyronine (T3). She improved steadily during the first 2 to 3 months and thyroidal function disease was treated with desiccated thyroid tests turned to normal. Then, in spite of continuing treatment, her serum T4 level decreased gradually and she became fatigued. A serum T3 radioimmunoassay manifested an interference pattern suggested anti-t3 antibody in her serum. Ethanol-extracted serum T3 and T4 levels were low in spite of ingestion of desiccated thyroid or synthetic T3 and T4, suggesting intestinal malabsorption of T3 and T4. Antibodies against T3 and T4 were identified in her serum; affinity constants were 1.16 X 1010 and 8.73 X 108k/mol respectively. After treatment with synthetic T3 and/or T4 for 20 months, the titer of anti-t3 and anti-t4 antibodies decreased, and impaired intestinal absorption of thyroid hormone improved. Then, after desiccated thyroid treatment was reinstituted, the anti-t3

antibody titer again increased and intestinal absorption of thyroid hormone decreased. These results suggest the oral immunization against thyroid hormones. There was associated impairment in intestinal absorption of thyroid hormone presumably secondary to the anti- T3 and anti-t4 antibodies.

Fig. 1. Clinical course. 1972-1973: After the treatment with desiccated thyroid and synthetic T3, her serum T4 level turned up to 8.2g/dl. However, in spite of continuing treatment, her serum T4 level decreased gradually. June 1977: When she came to our hospital again, her serum thyroid hormone levels by RIA were undetectable or very low, suggesting the assay interference by antibodies in her serum. June 1977 April 1979: The data suggest the impaired absorption of thyroid hormone from the intestine. August.1979: After the treatment with synthetic T3 and/or T4 in 20 months, the titer of antibodies decreased and impaired intestinal absorption of thyroid hormone improved. August 1979 April 1980: After desiccated thyroid treatment was reinstituted, the anti-t3 antibody titer again increased and intestinal absorption of thyroid hormone decreased. Table 1.
