Thyroid suppression test with serum thyroxine concentration as index of suppression.
A thyroid suppression test is suggested which relies on the change in concentration of serum thyroxine as the index of thyroid response to the administration of triiodothyronine. The test has been carried out in 16 healthy volunteers and in 27 patients referred for routine suppression tests. This index appears to be sensitive and safe and results in a reduction in the required dosage of triiodo...
متن کاملThe T 4 -free thyroxine index as a test of thyroid function of first choice.
The T(4)-free thyroxine index was used as the thyroid function test of first choice in a district general hospital for one year. Ninety-two patients were assessed both initially and at follow up by a single physician. The index agreed with clinical assessment in 69 out of 74 patients in whom diagnosis was unequivocal. There was initial doubt about thyroid status in 14 patients; after re-assessm...

15 صفحه اولSerum thyroid-stimulating-hormone concentration as an index of severity of major depression.
Alterations in thyroid axis are common in depression and subclinical hypothyroidism may predispose to recurrent depressive episodes and resistance to antidepressants. The same normal reference ranges are used in both depressive and non-psychiatric patients to detect hypothyroidism. We hypothesized that in depressive patients, serum TSH (thyrotropin) elevation within the normal reference range (...
متن کاملThyroxine suppression therapy for benign, non-functioning solitary thyroid nodules: a quality-effects meta-analysis.
Levothyroxine (LT4) suppressive therapy for solitary thyroid nodules is not popularly advocated presently because its clinical efficacy and safety are currently considered controversial. This meta-analysis aims to address efficacy issues by using rigorous methods to arrive at a pooled estimate. On the basis of the analysis, it is estimated that LT4 therapy is clearly associated with up to a two...
