In iodine deficiency areas, an increased T3/T4 ratio in serum was reported earlier. In this study the influence of potassium iodide on the T3/T4 ratio was investigated. Treatment with 200 mug KI per day for only 4 weeks normalized the initially elevated T3/T4 ratio in 16 nontoxic goiter patients
A 52-year-old woman was hospitalized because of dyspnea and dysphagia. Thoracic computed tomography revealed a retrotracheal mass. Tc-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy showed intense accumulation of radioactivity corresponding to the mediastinal mass detected by computed tomography. Repeated Tc-99m
300 microgram of potassium iodide daily were administered over a period of two weeks to 12 children with goitre. Basal TSH concentrations, maximal TSH increase after TRH and integrated TSH secretion after TRH were significantly decreased in this group whereas the increase of total thyroxine (T4-RIA)
1. The treatment of Graves' Disease by Potassium Iodide (like thyroidectomy, radioiodine, and antithyroid drugs) is followed by rate failure of thyroid function. 2. These findings suggest that the natural history of Graves' Disease may be one of progression from hyperthyroidism towards a decreased
Peroxidase activity in thyroid tissue from 25 patients with Graves' disease was measured by Mini assay method (J. Biochem. 98, 637-647, 1985) employing guaiacol or iodide as a second substrate. The mean values of protein-based specific activity were 0.496 guaiacol unit/mg protein and 0.187 iodide
