introduction: during the angiography of coronary vessels a great amount of  iodine mixed with radio-contrasts enter the body, and if autonomic centers exist in thyroid it causes hyperthyroidism. this can be dangerous in patients with cronary artery disease (cad). this study aimed to determine the effect of a radio-contrast used in coronary angiohraphy on thyroid’s function in patients referring...

Hypothyroidism is one of the common diseases worldwide that occurs when thyroid gland unable to produce enough hormone for body's metabolic needs. Thyroid hormones play a critical role in activity brain, and hypothyroidism has important effects on neuropsychiatric function. The incidence depressive syndrome higher patients with hypothyroidism. However, mechanism depression other psychiatric dis...

Thyroid functional disease, and in particular hypothyroidism, is highly prevalent among chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. In the general population, hypothyroidism is associated with impaired cardiac contractility, endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis and possibly higher cardiovascular mortality. It has been hypothesized that hypothyroidism is an unde...

thyroid hormones regulate the metabolisms of all cells including hepatocytes, and hence, modulate hepatic function. hyperthyroidism is one of the most common endocrine disorders characterized by increased secretion of thyroid hormones t3 and/or t4. this study investigated frequency of abnormal liver function tests in the patients with hyperthyroidism that referred to imam reza hospital of kerma...

Hypokalaemic periodic paralysis secondary to subclinical hyperthyroidism is an uncommon clinical phenomenon characterised by lower limb hypokalaemia in the background of hyperthyroidism. In this article, we report a patient who presented with progressive muscle weakness that was refractory potassium replacement therapy. He has no diarrhoea, reduced appetite and not taking any medication can cau...

Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. 2002;87:1068– 72. Abstract: High individuality causes laboratory reference ranges to be insensitive to changes in test results that are significant for the individua...

OBJECTIVE Thyroid hormones profile in patients with hepatic cirrhosis due to chronic HBV and HCV infections was evaluated in order to find any relationship between thyroid hormones and severity of liver damage. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with the diagnosis of hepatic cirrhosis due to hepatitis B or C were screened for thyroid function status. Child-Pugh and model for end-stage liver diseas...
