Abstract

Autoimmune diseases of the thyroid gland are among the most widespread diseases in the world. Autoimmune diseases of the thyroid gland include Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Bazedov's disease. The purpose of the research was to investigate the autoimmune thyroiditis’ spread characteristics in Georgia, particularly in Adjara. The patient's blood was used as the research material and immunoassay method was used as the general method. By the Researches was established the existence of some correlation in relation to gender and age. As a result of the conducted research, among the patients with autoimmune thyroiditis, there were more females than males. However, the disease was more often detected in the reproductive age. We researched patients from 18 to 70 years ages. In a total amount there were - 1104 patients investigated and the percentage of patients with autoimmune thyroiditis is 31%.
