Changes of serum 25(OH) D3 and IGF-1 levels in patients with thyroid nodules.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The present study aimed to study the relationship between serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D3(25(OH)D3) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and thyroid nodules.

Methods

Two hundred eighty-nine cases with thyroid nodules and 109 health subjects (control group) who admitted to the Hebei General Hospital during June 2016 to December 2016 were included in the study. Basic clinical information (age, sex, thyroid function, liver and kidney function, hypertension history, etc.) of patients were collected. Serum 25(OH) D3 and Serum IGF-1 were detected by electrochemiluminescence and radioimmunoassay methods, respectively. The relationship between the above-mentioned factors and thyroid nodules was statistically analyzed.

Results

Serum 25(OH)D3, IGF-1, fasting blood glu
