Puntos clave

• This research analyzes the prevalence of thyroid autoantibodies in patients with sarcoidosis.
• Analyzed a large series of patients diagnosed with sarcoidosis for thyroid autoantibodies.
• Compared prevalence rates with those in the healthy population.
• Positive thyroid autoantibodies were significantly elevated in sarcoidosis patients.
• Findings suggest a strong autoimmune linkage between sarcoidosis and autoimmune thyroid disease.
