Analysis of Bisphenol A Concentration in Serum in Women of Reproductive Age With Autoimmune Thyroid Disease

The aim of the study is to assess the relationship between the concentration of bisphenol A in serum and selected parameters of thyroid function in women of reproductive age with thyroid dysfunction - Hashimoto's disease and Graves' disease.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Pregnancy and lactating women
• Previous or planned treatment with 131I or thyroidectomy
• The use of drugs affecting the thyroid function (lithium, amiodarone, interferon a, sodium nitroprusside, sunitinib, sorafenib, iodine contrast, antibiotics / antifungals / antivirals (for at least 4 weeks prior to recruitment to the study), which do not result from the treatment of thyroid disease (levothyroxine, thyreostatic drugs, glucocorticoids)
• Active malignancy
