Thyroid function and other metabolic indicators were measured.Results: There were more TPOAb-positive patients in both groups, and the prevalence of TPOAb positive was significantly different in two groups (17% vs 6.9%, p< 0.01). FT4 was significantly lower in patients with T2DM with NAFLD (median FT4 0.89 vs 1.08, p < 0.001), while TSH was increased (median TSH 2.85 vs 2.28, p < 0.05). In patients with T2DM with NAFLD, the proportion of women in the thyroid autoimmune-positive group was significantly higher than the negative (71.1% vs 46%, p < 0.01). Similarly, thyroid autoimmune-positive T2DM and NAFLD patients had lower FT4 levels (median FT4 0.59 vs 0.92, p < 0.001), higher TSH levels (median TSH 3.65 vs 2.67, p < 0.001), and much higher TPOAb/TGAb (median TPOAb/TGAb 6.8 vs 1.46, p < 0.001). The increase of TPOAb was significantly correlated with the severity of fatty liver. HbA1c, TC, TG, TSH, TPOAb/TGAb and severity of fatty liver were risk factors of thyroid autoimmunity.Conclusion: Autoimmune thyroid disease is more common in patients with T2DM complicated with NAFLD. Elevated TPOAb titer is closely related to fatty liver, suggesting that elevated TPOAb titer is a predictor of autoimmune development in T2DM with NAFLD.Keywords: type 2 diabetes mellitus, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, thyroid peroxidase antibody, thyroglobulin antibody, autoimmune thyroid diseaseWang CNiu QLv HLi QMa YTan JLiu CDove Medical Pressarticletype 2 diabetes mellitusnon-alcoholic fatty liver diseasethyroid peroxidase antibodythyroglobulin antibodyautoimmune thyroid diseaseSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 4369-4378 (2020)
