Rapid preoperative preparation for severe hyperthyroid Graves' disease.
Thyroidectomy (TX) is no longer the preferred choice for the therapy of hyperthyroid Graves' disease but is an alternative in patients who are noncompliant with or have reactions to antithyroid drugs, have moderate to severe ophthalmopathy, have large goiters, or who refuse (131)I therapy and/or long-term antithyroid drug therapy. Seventeen clinically and biochemically severely thyrotoxic patie...
متن کاملLithium carbonate plus I in the treatment of Graves’ hyperthyroidism
Aims: Effectiveness of radioiodine for Graves’ hyperthyroidism (GD) depends on its intrathyroidal persistence, which could be enhanced by lithium by blocking the release of organic iodine and thyroid hormone from the thyroid gland. The present aim focused on the effect of the addition of lithium carbonate to I therapy in patients with GD. Methods: 100 consecutive patients with GD were randomly ...
متن کاملLithium Carbonate in the Treatment of Graves' Disease with ATD-Induced Hepatic Injury or Leukopenia
Objective. GD with ATD-induced hepatic injury or leukopenia occurs frequently in clinical practice. The purpose of the present study was to observe the clinical effect of lithium carbonate on hyperthyroidism in patients with GD with hepatic injury or leukopenia. Methods. Fifty-one patients with GD with hepatic injury or leukopenia participated in the study. All patients were treated with lithiu...
متن کاملAsymptomatic Graves' disease during lithium
The incidence of biochemical hypothyroidism has been estimated to be as high as 30% in patients taking lithium (Lazarus et al., 1981). There are several different mechanisms involved. Lithium has been shown to block release of thyroxine from the thyroid gland (Spaulding et al., 1972) and probably also directly inhibits thyrotrophin-stimulated adenyl cyclase in the thyroid gland. Lazarus et al. ...
متن کاملRapid improvement of thyroid function by using glucocorticoid indicated for the preoperative preparation of subtotal thyroidectomy in Graves' disease.
Glucocorticoid therapy is not considered as an authentic method for obtaining euthyroid in Graves' disease. We tried the administration of prednisolone as a preoperative preparation for subtotal thyroidectomy in 4 hyperthyroid patients with Graves' disease who had suffered adverse effects of thionamide antithyroid drugs, including agranulocytosis, liver damage and skin eruptions. Following oral...
