Euthyroid patient with elevated serum free thyroxine.
A 32-year-old female patient presented complaining of increased flushing, perspiration and heat intolerance of 3 months’ duration. Medical history included idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura of 4 years’ duration, which had been treated by splenectomy after failed immunosuppression with prednisone and azathioprine and was currently in remission. On examination, she was found to be clinically eu...
متن کاملThyroxine, thyrotropin, and age in a euthyroid hospital patient population.
The diagnosis of thyroid disease now often can be achieved reliably by measuring thyrotropin (TSH) alone. Thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine, and other analytes are only needed if TSH and the accompanying clinical condition are discordant. We describe here work that confirms the age independence of TSH in both inpatient and outpatient euthyroid hospital populations between ages 20 and at least 80...
متن کاملTreatment of chronic urticaria with thyroxine in an euthyroid patient with thyroglobulin and microsomal antibodies.
INTRODUCTION The association of chronic urticaria and thyroid autoimmunity is not well recognised and the potential use of thyroxine in the treatment of chronic urticaria in patients with thyroid autoimmunity is even less well known. CLINICAL PICTURE We report a case of chronic urticaria in an euthyroid patient with evidence of significantly elevated levels of thyroglobulin and microsomal ant...
متن کاملTSH and free thyroxine concentrations are associated with differing metabolic markers in euthyroid subjects.
OBJECTIVE To examine the association between thyroid function and the components of the metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in an Hispanic population. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS Subjects with no history of thyroid disease or diabetes were included. Thyroid function was stratified as euthyroid or subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) status and subsequently by free thyroxine (FT(...
متن کاملMeasurement of "free" thyroxine in serum.
A dialysis method for determining “free” thyroxine in diluted serum is presented. The effect of a number of variables (pH, incubation time and temperature, buffer composition and concentration, protein concentration, and specimen dilution) was studied, and pertinent data are presented. Withinrun precision (95% confidence limits) was ±10.6%; between-run precision was ±14.2%. Specimens from 84 he...
