The object of the research was to study the apoptosis of blood neutrophils and amount of immunoregulatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-8, IL-4) in patients at the age from 19 to 60 years. 52 euthyroid patients (11 men and 41 women) with autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) and 15 patients (5 men and 10 women) with Graves’ disease (GD) with thyrotoxicosis of various severity were examined. It was shown, that current AIT and GD is characterized by an increase of neutrophils readiness for apoptosis against a background of blood cytokine profile with reflects neutrophils active involving in the disease immunopathogenesis of autoimmune thyropaties.
