The current study compares metals and autoimmunity in two Tribal communities residing in the Black Hills and the Bighorn Mountains geographical regions that are scattered with extant hard rock mines. With documented drinking water contamination in both communities, <em>in vivo</em> levels of more than half of the measured serum and urine metals differed between the two communities and were substantially different from their national median values. Serum autoantibodies associated with systemic autoimmune disease were rare or at low-level, but antibodies to denatured (single-stranded) DNA and thyroid-specific autoantibodies were commonly elevated, especially in women. A three-tier statistical modeling process was carried out to examine individual metals exposure as predictors of autoantibody levels. For the most part only weak positive associations between individual metals and systemic autoantibodies were found, although univariate quantile regression analysis showed positive statistical associations of serum lead and antimony with anti-chromatin and anti-histone autoantibodies. Using age and gender-adjusted multivariable statistical models, metals did not predict anti-thyroglobulin or -thyroid peroxidase significantly and metals were generally negative predictors of the other autoantibodies. Overall these results suggest that elevated levels of environmental metals and metalloids in these communities may result in suppression of autoantibodies associated with systemic autoimmune disease.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15245,"journal":{"name":"Journal of autoimmunity","volume":"149 ","pages":"Article 103117"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41182635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The presentation of the disease varies substantially between individuals, in both the number of organs involved, and the manifestations seen in individual organs. These qualities dictate that health care providers diagnosing sarcoidosis must consider a wide range of possible alternative diagnoses, from across a range of presentations and medical specialties (infectious, inflammatory, cardiac, neurologic). Current guideline-based diagnosis of sarcoidosis recommends fulfillment of three criteria: 1) compatible clinical presentation and/or imaging 2) demonstration of granulomatous inflammation by biopsy (when possible) and, 3) exclusion of alternative causes, but do not provide guidance on standardized strategies for exclusion of alternative diagnoses. In this review, we provide a summary of the most common differential diagnoses for sarcoidosis involvement of lung, eye, skin, central nervous system, heart, liver, and kidney. We then propose a framework for testing to exclude alternative diagnoses based on pretest probability of sarcoidosis, defined as high (typical findings with sarcoidosis involvement confirmed in another organ), moderate (typical findings in a single organ), or low (atypical/findings suggesting of an alternative diagnosis).
