Abstract:
The autoantibody assays that exist and that are being refined are of increasing importance to a broad spectrum of endocrine disorders. This is particularly true for type IA diabetes, which is one of the best-studied organ-specific autoimmune diseases. Autoantibodies are used as valuable markers in prediction and prevention studies of type IA diabetes. Autoantibodies related to other endocrine organs are also important because multiple related autoimmune endocrine and non-endocrine disorders are increased in frequency in patients and their families with autoimmunity. The availability of highly sensitive and specific autoantibody assays for the various endocrine disorders can allow physicians to better diagnose and promptly treat these conditions.
