NISCH syndrome with hypothyroxinemia

Hypothyroxinemia in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).

Serum thyroxine (T4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were studied in 38 patients confirmed to be infected with HIV-1 virus and the results compared with values observed in age matched healthy subjects. The mean serum total T4 in the majority of the patients, 103 +/- 32 nmol/L, was similar to values observed in the controls, 102 +/- 21 nmol/L, p > 0.05. However, 22.2 pc of the HIV-1 infect...

Hypothyroxinemia and pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the peer-reviewed literature on iodine deficiency and hypothyroxinemia in pregnancy. METHODS We review published studies on isolated hypothyroxinemia in pregnancy, methodology of free thyroxine (T4) assays, impact of iodine deficiency on free T4 levels, and status of ongoing prospective randomized trials of isolated hypothyroxinemia during pregnancy. RESULTS Hypothyrox...

Hypothyroxinemia in Pregnancy is Related with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Maternal hypothyroxinemia: psychoneurological deficits of progeny.

Maternal thyroid function was evaluated clinically, by reproductive history, and by serial measurements of serum butanol-extractable iodine (thyroxine-like iodine), two before and two after 24 gestational weeks during 1,349 pregnancies. Three percent of the women were hypothyroxinemic. Developmental, intellectual, and motor abilities of progeny born to (Group I) 210 euthyroxinemic, (Group II) 1...

Hypothyroxinemia in extremely low birth weight infants

Hypothyroxinemia of prematurity (HOP) is a transient alteration in thyroid hormone availabilityfound in more than half of extremely low birth weight infants (ELBW) born at less than 30 weeks [1]. HOP is characterized by very low total T4 (TT4) and free T4 (FT4) levels with a normal or low thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH); TT4 and FT4 show a nadir at 7-10 days of life and they may remained low ...
