OBJECTIVE
The study was aimed at establishing the existence of sick euthyroid syndrome in our patients with cardiac failure and to find out whether the syndrome in the our patients has a peculiar pattern
METHODS
Thirty subjects diagnosed with cardiac failure in NYHA class 3 and 4 were studied; they
To assess the efficacy of reverse T3 in differentiating between the hypothyroid and euthyroid state in the setting of illness, all reverse T3 determinations obtained over a 4-year period in a University teaching hospital were analyzed in the context of concurrent thyroid function tests, bilirubin,
Background: Specific factors correlated with hypothyroidism in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients remain unclear. Therefore, we aim to evaluate the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in Chinese patients with SLE and the
Thyroid function and iodine levels of 30 preterm neonates were examined before and up to five days after topical exposure to 10% povidone-iodine application. Urinary iodine excretion significantly increased in the group closest to term (8.9 +/- 1.2 mg I/g creatinine x 10) vs controls (3.5 +/- 0.5
OBJECTIVE
The thyroid hormone system may be downregulated temporarily in patients who are severely ill. This "euthyroid sick syndrome" may be an adaptive response to conserve energy. However, thyroid hormone also has beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system, such as improving cardiac
A trial of thyroxine in acute renal failure.
BACKGROUND
Acute renal failure (ARF) remains a serious medical problem with a high mortality rate. Efforts to shorten the course of ARF might reduce this mortality. Since thyroxine has been shown in experimental models to shorten the course of ARF, we
Delayed graft function (DGF) in cadaver kidney transplants is a common problem and is often due to acute tubular necrosis (ATN). DGF in transplants may have a deleterious effect on long-term graft survival. Since thyroid hormone has been shown to hasten recovery from ATN in experimental models, we
Low triiodothyronine (T3) syndrome, also named euthyroid sick syndrome or non-thyroidal illness syndrome, has been recognized in canine babesiosis caused by Babesia rossi, where it manifested by lowering of the serum thyrotropin (TSH), total thyroxin (TT4) and free thyroxin (FT4) concentrations.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence, clinical significance and prognostic implications of alterations in thyroid function tests (TFTs) in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI).
METHODS
A prospective study was carried out in patients hospitalized for AKI for 2 consecutive
