Description
Ismail Yigitdol and eight co-authors count hormone disorders in adults with a faulty immune system, in a study published in twenty twenty-six. The condition, common variable immunodeficiency, leaves people short of protective antibodies and prone to infections. Hormone glands can also suffer, both from immune attack and from long steroid treatment.
The team reviewed ninety-five adults followed at one Turkish university clinic over seven years. About one in three had at least one hormone disorder. A dozen of those cases were caused by steroid drugs. Patients with hormone problems were older and heavier, with more autoimmune disease and higher past steroid use. The study also records gene findings. The authors urge routine hormone checks in this group.
