Fetuin-A levels are reported to be low as a negative acute phase reactant in systemical inflammatory situations. Hashimoto thyroiditis is characterized with inflammation. In this study, we hypothesised that the serum fetuin A levels could be found to be low due to inflammation in patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis

Patient group will consist of patients with newly diagnosed Hashimoto thyroiditis and the control group will consist of healthy volunteers.
