Raised serum TSH in hypothyroidism.
It is desirable to detect early hypothyroidism of the mildest degree even before conventional tests of thyroid function become abnormal. Serum TSH levels (normal: undetectable to 4 muU/ml) rise in patients with mild hypothyroidism long before serum T4 and T3 levels fall. In the patient described the serum TSH level was 310 muU/ml, while other tests of thyroid function gave normal results. After...
متن کاملParacetamol poisoning resulting in massively raised serum transaminases.
Sir, Paracetamol poisoning is not a very frequently encountered problem in ouur population, as compared to the incidence in the west. Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is being used as an effective and safer analgesic as compared to non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs, when administered in therapeutic dose. In contrast to aspirin, it is more likely to cause hepatotoxicity, when taken in larger than...

متن کاملMay Thurner Syndrome: An Important Differential Diagnosis for DVT
May Thurner Syndrome (MTS) is an anatomical variant in which the left common iliac vein is compressed against the fifth lumbar vertebra by the right common iliac artery resulting in lower extremity venous outflow obstruction. It is estimated to be present in about 20% of the population and predominantly seen in young females. It can present as acute or chronic DVT with symptoms of unilateral le...
متن کاملAnalysis for transaminases in serum with an amperometric glutamate electrode.
We determined transaminases in human blood serum with an amperometric glutamate biosensor. The probe was a hydrogen peroxide sensor assembled with appropriate selective membranes to enhance the probe specificity and lifetime. Calibration curves of glutamate were linear in the range 1-1000 mumol/L, with a response time of < 1 min. This probe was subsequently applied to the measurement of activit...
