TSH receptor antibodies (TRAb) – A potential new biomarker for endometriosis
Objectives: The prevalence of several autoimmune diseases, including thyroid dysfunction, has been reported to be increased in patients with endometriosis. Upregulated thyroid stimulation hormone (TSH) receptors in ectopic endometrium and elevated serum titers of TSH receptor antibodies (TRAb) IgG in endometriosis patients indicates an overlap in pathophysiology. However, cross-reactivity with oth
