Los problemas de la tiroides son comunes en las personas con lupus. Según las estadísticas del Centro de Lupus de Johns Hopkins, aproximadamente el 6 por ciento de las personas con lupus tienen hipotiroidismo, o tiroides poco activa, y el 2 por ciento tienen hipertiroidismo, o tiroides hiperactiva. Un estudio de 2009 publicado en el Journal of Clinical Rheumatology encontró que poco más del 6 por ciento de las personas con lupus evaluadas tenían problemas de tiroides causados por una enfermedad autoinmune de la tiroides, en comparación con el 2 por ciento de la población general.
