[The thyroid functional tests, antithyroid antibodies and the level of prolactin in treated patients with systemic lupus erythematosus].

The results indicate that fT3 and fT4 concentrations are lower in SLE treated women with small and mild disease activity compared to the controls with the mean arithmetic values for the total group of patients which is within the laboratory limits for these hormones. Furthermore, the results seem to support the tendency of connections between the detection of antithyroid antibodies with higher level of serum PRL in SLE treated patients.
