Association of serum free thyroxine and glucose homeostasis: Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Jeonghoon Ha, Jeongmin Lee, Dong-Jun Lim, Jung-Min Lee, Sang-Ah Chang, Moo-Il Kang, Min-Hee Kim
Korean J Intern Med. 2021;36(Suppl 1):S170-S179. Published online June 9, 2020
Background/Aims: Thyroid hormones are involved in wide range of glucose metabolism functions. Overt thyroid dysfunctions are related to altered glucose homeostasis. However, it is not conclusive as to whether subtle changes in thyroid hormones within normal ranges can induce alterations in glucose h..

Risk factors for hypothyroidism in euthyroid thyroid nodule patients with lymphocytic thyroiditis on fine needle aspiration cytology
Jeong-Min Lee, Jeonghoon Ha, Kwanhoon Jo, Yejee Lim, Min-Hee Kim, Chan-Kwan Jung, So-Lyung Jung, Moo-Il Kang, Bong-Yun Cha, Dong-Jun Lim
Korean J Intern Med. 2019;34(6):1287-1296. Published online March 13, 2018
Background/Aims: Lymphocytic thyroiditis as cytology diagnosis from fine needle aspiration (FNA) is frequently detected in patients with thyroid nodules. However, the clinical outcome for upcoming hypothyroid events has been rarely clarified in euthyroid patients.
Methods: We retrospectively review..

Clinical implications of anti-thyroglobulin antibody measurement before surgery in thyroid cancer
Kwanhoon Jo, Dong-Jun Lim
Korean J Intern Med. 2018;33(6):1050-1057. Published online October 30, 2018
Thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) is a class G immunoglobulin and a conventional marker for thyroid autoimmunity. From a clinical perspective, TgAb is less useful than thyroid peroxidase antibodies for predicting thyroid dysfunction. However, TgAb is found more frequently in differentiated thyroid cance..

Clinical Significance of Observation without Repeated Radioiodine Therapy in Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma Patients with Positive Surveillance Whole-Body Scans and Negative Thyroglobulin
Dong-Jun Lim, Joo Hyun O, Min-Hee Kim, Ji-Hyun Kim, Hyuk-Sang Kwon, Sung-Hoon Kim, Moo-Il Kang, Bong-Yun Cha, Kwang-Woo Lee, Ho-Young Son
Korean J Intern Med. 2010;25(4):408-414. Published online November 27, 2010
Background/AimsCurrently, there is no consensus on the necessity of repeated radioiodine therapy (RAI) in patients who show iodine uptake in the thyroid bed on a diagnostic whole-body scan (DxWBS) despite undetectable thyroglobulin (Tg) levels after remnant ablation. The prese..
