Abstract [en]
The purpose of this study was to examine if the disease hypothyroidism affects the nerve fibres in the skin. Hypothyroidism is an under-function of the thyroid gland, which leads to a lowered metabolism in most of the body’s cells (Guyton, 1981). Many hypothyroid patients experience neuropathic type pain in their lower extremities (Massey, 2002). Since neuropathies usually are characterized by a decreased number of nerve fibres (Hsieh et al., 2000), we expected to find a reduced number of nerve fibres in the skin punch biopsies from hypothyroid patients when compared to control group biopsies. Skin punch biopsies from 44 individuals were cut using a cryostat and immunostained with the neuronal marker PGP 9.5. The sections were then viewed in a fluorescence microscope, and all nerve fibres crossing the dermis-epidermis border were quantified. Statistic calculations showed that the patients had significantly less nerve fibres than the control group individuals (p<0.001).
