Structural and functional derangement of the liver has been noted in patients with hyperthyroidism(Cameron and Kurunaratne, 1935;Lichtman, 1953;Werner, 1955). Paul, in 1865, was the first to mention the association of hepatic cirrhosis and toxic thyroid disease. Jaundice was first mentioned by Haberson(1874). Kerr and Rusk, in 1922, reported acute yellow atrophy of the liver associated with hyp...

INTRODUCTION There are many factors causing endothelial dysfunction. The aim was to observe chosen markers of endothelial function in patients with subclinical and overt hyperthyroidism. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied 97 patients with hyperthyroidism: 51 with subclinical (44 F/7 M; mean age 49.3 +/- 15.9 y) and 46 patients with overt (39 F/7 M, mean age 50.4 +/- 13.2 y). The control comprise...

BACKGROUND Various abnormalities of haemostasis have been described in patients with hyperthyroidism. The results of different studies point to the underlying thyroid disease, especially severity of hyperthyroidism and autoimmune processes, as important factors contributing to coagulation-fibrinolytic balance. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between hyperthyroidis...

We aimed to determine whether patients with subclinical hyperthyroidism (SH) are subject to oxidative stress. Twenty-two women and 8 men having endogenous subclinical hyperthyroidism for a duration of at least 6 months, and 21 women and 9 men healthy controls were included in this study. We measured the level of plasma malondialdehyde, as one of the lipid peroxidation markers, and the activity ...

Seventeen consecutive patients (mean (SD) 46 (11) years) with untreated hyperthyroidism and anorexia and 29 patients (35 (9) years) with untreated hyperthyroidism without anorexia were studied. The study was conducted at the thyroid clinic of the PUMC Hospital, Beijing, China from March to August 1997. The patients' ages, serum free calcium, liver function and emotional state, specifically the ...

The management of hyperthyroidism in the pregnant woman has been the topic of several recent reviews (1–6) and case series (7–8). These papers have discussed maternal-fetal thyroid relationships, the epidemiology of maternal hyperthyroidism, causes of gestational thyrotoxicosis, the clinical and laboratory diagnosis of hyperthyroidism in pregnancy, therapy with ATDs, surgery, b adrenergic block...

Congenital hyperthyroidism is less frequent than congenital hypothyroidism but its impact on growth and development can be as dramatic. The immune form of hyperthyroidism that is transmitted from a mother with Graves' disease to her foetus and then neonate is transient, but cases of persistent congenital hyperthyroidism had also been described, that can now be explained by molecular abnormaliti...

Thyroid disorders are the most common endocrine diseases in India. Numerous studies in various countries differ in their prevalence rate for both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. This present crosssectional observational study was conducted in Bankura Sammilani Medical College, Bankura, West Bengal to find out the prevalence of thyroid disorders among the people of this district. This presen...
