Differences in Thyroid Function and Autoantibodies in the Development of Guillain –Barré Syndrome vs. Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy

Conclusion: The elevation of thyroid autoantibodies was associated with GBS. TPO-Ab higher than 133 IU/mL or lower than 0.01 IU/mL and TG-Ab higher than 261.1 IU/mL or lower than 0.46 IU/mL had high specificity for differentiating between GBS and CIDP; therefore, TPO-Ab and TG-Ab can be used as biomarkers for the differential diagnosis of GBS and CIDP.
