Bone mineral density and metabolism in levothyroxine-treated adolescent girls with euthyroid diffuse goiter.
INTRODUCTION Bone and mineral metabolism is influenced by thyroid hormones, and levothyroxine (LT(4)) therapy may be associated with reduced bone mass in postmenopausal women. MATERIAL AND METHODS The aim of the study was to assess the influence of one year of LT(4) treatment in a group of 21 adolescent girls with euthyroid diffuse goiter. Lumbar (L(2)-L(4)) and total body bone mineral densit...
متن کاملSuppressive therapy with levothyroxine for solitary thyroid nodules.
Levothyroxine suppressive treatment of solitary thyroid nodules is controversial. A 1-yr prospective randomized placebo-controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of T4 on nodule volume and bone mineral density, and meta-analyses were performed to examine the quantitative synthesis of data from similar designed controlled trials. Forty-five euthyroid patients (42 females, age range: ...
متن کاملLong -Term Outcome Therapy of Toxic Diffuse Goiter in Tehran
SUMMARY In order to evaluate the long-ter m effects of antithyroids and ahlative therapy on patients with toxic diffuse goiter (TDG) in an iodine deficient region, 206 patients were studied in Tehran. Hyperthyroidism recurred in 50%, of 80 patients treated with Methimazole (MMI), from one week to 48 months after cessation of therapy. Another 40 patients remained in remission. Of 102 patients t...
متن کاملIodinated Contrast Media-Induced Thyroid Dysfunction in Euthyroid Nodular Goiter Patients.
BACKGROUND The risks of thyroid dysfunction after iodinated contrast media exposure in patients with euthyroid nodular goiter are largely unknown. METHODS This observational, retrospective cohort study included a random selection of one million people in Taiwan. All patients with iodinated contrast media exposure during this study period were selected. Patients with euthyroid nodular goiter w...
متن کاملPersistent cellular metabolic changes after hemithyroidectomy for benign euthyroid goiter.
BACKGROUND The significance of perturbations of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroid hormones within the laboratory reference ranges after hemithyroidectomy is unknown. Our aim was to examine changes in TSH and thyroid hormones after hemithyroidectomy for benign euthyroid goiter, focusing on tissue response by examining the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) of peripheral blood mon...
