The frequency of thyroid disorders, particularly Hashimoto's thyroiditis, may be increased in patients with connective tissue diseases. Both hypothyroidism and connective tissue diseases often cause muscle and joint aches, pains and stiffness. Skin, renal and cardiovascular involvement seen in the course of autoimmune hypothyroidism (AIH) may simulate connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We herein report a case of AIH who presented with massive proteinuria, haematuria, pleural fluid and arthritis simulating SLE.
甲状腺疾病的发病率，尤其是桥本甲状腺炎，可能在结缔组织疾病患者中增加。甲状腺功能减退和结缔组织疾病通常都会导致肌肉和关节疼痛、疼痛和僵硬。自身免疫性甲状腺功能减退症（AIH）过程中出现的皮肤、肾脏和心血管受累可能会模拟如系统性红斑狼疮（SLE）等结缔组织疾病。本文报告了一例 AIH 病例，其表现为大量蛋白尿、血尿、胸腔积液和关节炎，模拟 SLE。
