  1. Data are shown as the mean ± SD (Standard Deviation). The data normality was tested using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test. If data was not normally distributed, the Mann−Whitney U test was used. The t-test (FT3, FT4) and Mann-Whitney U test (Age, TPOAb, TgAb, TSH) were used to detect the clinical characteristics of patients with HT and healthy individuals.
