    Snippet: The presence of thyroid autoantibodies before the initiation of IFN-therapy is an important risk factor for the development of IIT. In HCV-positive individuals, the progression toward hypothyroidism, in thyroid autoantibodies positive patients who undergo IFN-treatment, is often associated with an increase in antibody titers [73] .

    Document: The presence of thyroid autoantibodies before the initiation of IFN-therapy is an important risk factor for the development of IIT. In HCV-positive individuals, the progression toward hypothyroidism, in thyroid autoantibodies positive patients who undergo IFN-treatment, is often associated with an increase in antibody titers [73] . Furthermore, Prummel and Laurberg showed that positive pretreatment AbTPOs are an important risk factor for the development of thyroid dysfunction [74] . There is also an obvious link between female sex, old age, and genetic predisposition with the development of antibodies [75, 76] .
