A member asked:

I hav hypothyroidism, vitiligo, endometriosis. should i be concerned about other autoimmune disorders or be tested for more?what test are usually done?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Hypothyroidism and vitiligo may run with hashimoto's, schmidt's, addison's (take a history; morning cortisol screen &/or acth stimulation test if needed), type i diabetes (unlikely at your age), and autoimmune pernicious anemia (consider an occasional serum B12 check) and that uncommon animal autoimmune hypoparathyroidism (you'll know if this happens). Probably you'll get none. Great question.
