Prevalence and Influencing Factors of Thyroid Dysfunction in HIV-Infected Patients

Figure 1

Thyroid hormone levels, HIV loads, and CD4 cell counts in patients with different thyroid function. FT3, free tri-iodothyronine; FT4, free thyroxine; TSH, thyrotropin; VL: viral load. Normal: normal thyroid function; sub-hypo: subclinical hypothyroidism; hypo: overt hypothyroidism; hyper: overt hyperthyroidism. The horizontal lines represent mean values, the boxes represent standard deviations, and the whiskers represent ranges. The dashed lines represent the normal ranges of thyroid hormones. The values in the figure were acquired using tests of the whole sample and not from comparisons between any two means.
