Iodide Therapy of Triiodothyronine-thyrotoxicosis

[Serum ratios of triiodothyronine to thyroxine and reverse-triiodothyronine in Graves' disease and destruction-induced thyrotoxicosis].

In order to determine the frequency of thyroxine (T4) toxicosis and study the possibility of usefulness for differentiation between thyrotoxic Graves' disease and destructioninduced thyrotoxicosis, the serum concentrations of T4, triiodothyronine(T3), reverse T3 (rT3), and T4-binding globulin (TBG) and the values of T3-uptake and radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) were measured, and free, T4 inde...

Thyroxine, triiodothyronine and iodide in different breeds of newborn calves.

Plasma thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3) and iodide levels were measured from birth until 30 days of age in 17 Holstein x Friesian (HF), 7 Salers and 7 Charolais calves born at term. The response of plasma T4 and T3 levels to bovine thyrotropin (TSH) injection was also compared in two groups of 9 HF calves 3hrs and 21 days, respectively, after birth. In the HF calves, plasma T4 and T3 level...

Radioiodine therapy in thyrotoxicosis.

One hundred and two patients (81 females, 21 males) suffering from thyrotoxicosis as diagnosed clinically and confirmed by laboratory investigations including the estimation of thyroid hormones in blood were treated with radioiodine (I-131) at the University of Minnesota Hospital between 1976 and 1986. Nine (9%) patients needed two and 3 (3%) patients needed three therapeutic doses of I-131. Th...

Does preoperative iodide treatment for thyrotoxicosis bring about involution?

It is generally believed that preoperative iodide decreases the hyperplasia of the toxic thyroid gland. Histometric studies of glands from thyrotoxic patients pretreated with propranolol alone compared with those from patients pretreated with propranolol and iodide failed to confirm this. Although histological appearances and volume percentage measurement of component tissues suggested that the...
