The incidence of mole pregnancy appears to be higher in Iran than in Europe or North America. This gave us an opportunity to study a number of biochemical measurements related to the thyroid. In 14 patients with hydatiform mole, the T3 resin uptake, serum thyroxine (T4), ETR, T3 RIA, human serum TSH (hTSH) and serum human Chorinic gonadotropin (hCG) were measured. Of the 14 patients 6 sho...

BACKGROUND Considering the controversial information regarding the effects of perchlorate on thyroid function of high risk population as neonates, and given the high prevalence rate of thyroid disorders specially congenital hypothyroidism in our region, this study aims to investigate for the first time in Iran, the relationship between drinking groundwater perchlorate and cord blood thyroid hor...

The usefulness of radioiodine in the assessment of thyroid function is well established, and in most hospitals it is in routine use. But it does not offer us a universally valid test free of any limitations, and it is useful to supplement it with other tests of thyroid function.20 For the most part, both the special advantages and limitations of radioiodine tests differ from those of the altern...

OBJECTIVE To analyze alterations in thyroid function and the correlation between results of thyroid function test and mortality in medical and surgical intensive care unit (ICU) patients. It also aimed to evaluate the effect of thyroid dysfunction in ICU patients and their need for mechanical ventilation (MV). METHODS A single-center, prospective, observational study was conducted on patients...

Changes in thyroid function tests occur during pregnancy as a result of physiologic altera‐ tions in several factors controlling thyroid homeostasis. Urinary iodine excretion increases along with the increase in thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) concentrations. Human cho‐ rionic gonadotrophin (hCG) having structural homology with thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), stimulates thyroid cells. Thus,...

BACKGROUND Thyroid dysfunction is a well-known adverse effect of first-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), like sunitinib. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of second-generation TKIs on thyroid function. METHODS We retrospectively assessed the effect of the first-generation TKI imatinib and the second-generation TKI nilotinib and dasatinib on thyroid function tests...

background: to investigate thyroid function in preeclamptic patients in comparison with normal pregnant women. methods: in this analytical cross-sectional study free thyroxine (t4), and thyroid stimulating hormone (tsh) levels were measured in 100 preeclamptic patients and were compared with free t4 and tsh levels in 101 normal pregnant women in their third trimester of pregnancy. patients with...
