[Effect of plasmapheresis and immunocorrective therapy on the status of the T-cell component of immunity in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis].
T-cellular immunity was studied in 104 patients with autoimmune thyroiditis to assess the function of the thyroid and treatment method. A reliable reduction of the activity of T-lymphocyte receptor system, lymphopoiesis activation, and their relationship with the thyroid status were revealed. Plasmapheresis as monotherapy was used in 22 patients. It brought about a short-term positive effect, this necessitating search for other methods of immuno-rehabilitation. In 82 patients it was supplemented with immunocorrective therapy (thymalin) and in 49 with hypothyrosis with substitution therapy (L-thyroxine, thyroidin). Combined therapy helped attain a stable clinical and immunological effect. Subpopulation composition of T-lymphocytes recovered, their functional activity normalized (follow-up period 1 year).
