Onycholysis is a common disorder with many causes. It is known to be associated with thyroid disease (especially hyperthyroidism), but physicians probably do not routinely screen for underlying thyroid disease.
To study the association of onycholysis and thyroid disease.
We report three patients with onycholysis who were investigated for thyroid disease.
In two patients, onycholysis was the presenting sign of previously undiagnosed hypothyroidism, whereas the third developed onycholysis while undergoing therapy for hypothyroidism.
These three cases appear to suggest that patients with unexplained onycholysis should be screened for asymptomatic thyroid disease.
甲剥离是一种病因多样的常见病症。已知其与甲状腺疾病(尤其是甲状腺功能亢进症)相关,但医生可能不会常规筛查潜在的甲状腺疾病。
研究甲剥离与甲状腺疾病之间的关联。
我们报告了三例因甲状腺疾病接受检查的甲剥离患者。
在两名患者中,甲剥离是先前未诊断出的甲状腺功能减退症的首发症状,而第三名患者在接受甲状腺功能减退症治疗时出现了甲剥离。
这三例病例似乎表明,对于原因不明的甲剥离患者,应筛查无症状甲状腺疾病。
