Abstract

Vitiligo is a dermatological disease characterized by focal disappearance of the melanin pigment on the skin and mucous membranes of a person. Despite the variety of proposed hypotheses for the development of this pathology, the central role belongs to the autoimmune mechanism of melanocyte damage.Analysis of the results of numerous international studies confirms a pronounced tendency towards an increase in the prevalence of endocrine autoimmune diseases among patients with vitiligo compared to the general population. Such diseases include, first of all, autoimmune thyroiditis, Graves' disease, type I diabetes mellitus and autoimmune adrenal insufficiency. Some studies confirm a high frequency of vitiligo combination with multiendocrine autoimmune syndromes.This review is aimed at systematizing the available scientific literature on the frequency of occurrence and characteristics of associated autoimmune endocrine disorders in individuals suffering from vitiligo.
