Transient neonatal hyperthyroidism and maternal thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins.
Serum thyroid stimulating hormone binding inhibitor immunoglobulins (TBII) and thyroid stimulating antibody (TSAb) concentrations were measured in three pregnant women with hyperthyroidism and then in their infants. The results suggested that TBII concentrations in infants in the neonatal period or from mothers during the third trimester of pregnancy showed a good correlation with the developme...
متن کاملInaccuracy of Thyroid to Background Uptake Ratio in Evaluating Technetium-99m-pertechnetate Thyroid Uptake and Establishing an Improved Algorithm
Objective(s): The aim of this study was to explore the accuracy of thyroid to background uptake ratio (UR) in the evaluation of 99mTc-pertechnetate thyroid uptake (TcTU) and establishment of an improved algorithm. Methods: This study was conducted on the thyroid images of 322 patients with thyroid diseases and 67 controls. For the purpos...
متن کاملThyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins in neonatal Graves's disease.
Two patients with neonatal Graves's disease are reported. One of them had a delayed onset because of suppression of the fetal thyroid gland by antithyroid drug taken by the mother during pregnancy. Thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins (TSAb), measured by a receptor assay, were present in both babies when they were thyrotoxic, and also in their mothers. TSAb were undetectable in both babies 1 yea...
متن کاملRelationship between thyroid stimulating hormone and thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin in Graves' hyperthyroidism.
BACKGROUND AND AIM In Graves' hyperthyroidism, suppression of serum TSH after restoration of normal serum T4 and T3 with treatment has been attributed to binding of TSH-receptor antibodies to TSH receptors in the pituitary. Accordingly, the relationship between TSH and serum thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI) was examined during follow-up of patients with Graves' hyperthyroidism. SUBJEC...
متن کاملCut off value of technetium uptake in the differential diagnosis of Graves, disease and subacute thyroiditis
Objective(s):The aim of this study was to determine whether technetium (99mTc) uptake is a relevant method for the differential diagnosis of Graves disease and subacute thyroiditis and calculate its cutoff value in case of its relevancy. Methods: A total of 69 patients, who were followed up (>3 months) in our hospital for thyrotoxi...
