Objective. The aim of this study was to determine if early initiation of oral/enteral nutrition in burn patients minimizes the drop in fT3 levels, reduces the potential for euthyroid sick syndrome (ESS), and shortens the length of hospital stay (LHS). Subjects and Methods. We retrospectively evaluated the statistical association of serum fT3, fT4, and TSH at the first (2nd-5th day) and second s...

BACKGROUND Non-thyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS) is a characteristic functional constellation of thyrotropic feedback control that frequently occurs in critically ill patients. Although this condition is associated with significantly increased morbidity and mortality, there is still controversy on whether NTIS is caused by artefacts, is a form of beneficial adaptation, or is a disorder requirin...

 Sheehan’s syndrome (SS) refers to the occurrence of varying degree of hypopituitarism after parturition (1). It is a rare cause of hypopituitarism in developed countries owing to advances in obstetric care and its frequency is decreasing worldwide. However, it is still frequent in underdeveloped and developing countries. Sheehan’s syndrome is often diagnosed late as it evolves slowly (2,3). Re...

The thyroid gland is an endocrine organ that secretes the hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), which are, in turn, under the influence of the TSH and the TRH. Though hyperand hypothyroidism remain the common clinically manifesting condition of the thyroid, in some cases, the patient remains symptomless with either excess or decrease in thyroxine levels, along with normal TSH level...

SARS-CoV-2 rapidly spread worldwide and resulted in an unprecedented pandemic. Considering the novelty of this disease, its potential effects on endocrine system remain elusive. This virus is known to utilize extracellular domain angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) transmembrane protein TMPRSS2. Broad expression ACE-2 TMPRSS2 a cause extrapulmonary manifestations SARSCoV- 2, including ones. The...
