Empty sella syndrome (ESS) is an uncommon cause of hypopituitarism. It usually detected incidentally or with neurological symptoms whereas it rare to present symptomatic endocrine dysfunction. A 48-year old previously healthy man presented generalized body weakness, lethargy, fatigue and postural dizziness one month no headache visual disturbance. He also had features suggestive hypogonadism ...
We describe a patient with previously undiagnosed hypothyroidism who developed rhabdomyolysis while taking a statin. He had no other precipitating factors. The statin was stopped, intravenous fluids were started immediately and L-thyroxin was given after confirming the diagnosis of hypothyroidism. His symptoms improved over a few days. Because rhabdomyolysis is a rare but potentially life threa...
A 38-year-old man with a metastatic gonadotropin-secreting tumor of unknown primary origin presented with both clinical and biochemical findings of hyperthyroidism in association with markedly increased concentrations of human choriogonadotropin (hCG) in plasma. After chemotherapy, the concentrations of both hCG and free thyroxin decreased and the patient became euthyroid. We discuss the rare o...
On the albumin-dependence of measurements of free thyroxin. II. Patients with non-thyroidal illness.
We studied the relation between thyroxin-binding proteins and free thyroxin (FT4) measurements by five radioimmunoassays (RIA) and an FT4 index (FT4I) in patients with non-thyroidal illness (NTI). The one-step FT4 RIAs and the FT4I frequently failed to identify the true FT4 status (as determined by equilibrium dialysis) of NTI patients. In these patients, falsely low FT4 results with one-step R...
BACKGROUND Pharmacodynamic studies and data concerning adaptation of thyroid substitution in patients with substituted hypothyroidism during plasma exchange (PE) is not available. CASE REPORT We measured TSH, fT3 and fT4, total T4, thyroxin binding globulin (TBG), and albumin before and after 5 PE procedures in a 37-year-old women who underwent PE for a therapy-resistant polyneuropathy. Thyro...
Assay of hormones in saliva would be more convenient than assay in blood, but there is no information on the route by which hormones enter saliva, information that would provide insight into the clinical value of such assays. We have examined the mode of entry of various hormones into saliva. The results suggest that unconjugated steroids enter saliva by diffusing through the cells of the saliv...
Analog assays for free thyroxin (FT4) produce inaccurate results because the T4 analog is sequestered by albumin. Diagnostic Products Corp. (DPC) introduced the concept of chemically blocking analog-albumin binding in 1982. While DPC succeeded in eliminating albumin dependence, their 1985 version of chemically blocked FT4 assay appeared to be "thyroxin-binding globulin" (TBG) dependent, produci...
