RESUMO
Objective To investigate the changes of thyroid hormone in peritoneal dialysis patients and analyse its impact factors, as well as the therapeutic effects of small dose of thyroxine.Methods 150 uremic patients in Hunan Provincial People’s Hospital from December 2013 to December 2014 were selected, 70 cases of uremia non-dialysis patients were divided into group A, while 80 uremia peritoneal dialysis for more than half a year were divided into group B.70 cases healthy examinees during the same period in our hospital were selected as control group ( group C ) . The total triiodothyronine (T3), total thyroxine (T4), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), hemoglobin (Hb), serum albumin (ALB), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), serum creatinine (SCr), C reactive protein (CRP) and left ventricular ejection fraction ( LVEF) , subjective global assessment of nutritional act ( SGA) and other indicators were detected in three groups.Patients in group B were divided into two sub-groups according to thyroid hormone levels: B1 group had normal thyroid level while B2 abnormal.And the administration of small dose of thyroid hormone was given to patients in group B2, and the effect of the administration was evaluated by the above indexes.Results The FT3 in group A and B were significantly lower than that in group C (P<0.01).There were significant differences of levels of ALB, CRP, SGA between group B1 and group B2, and the FT3 level in group B was significant correlated with SGA, ALB, LVEF(r=0.815,P<0.001;r=0.780,P<0.001;r=0.953,P<0.001).After treated with small dose of thyroid hormone, FT3 and LVEF were improved while FT4, TSH, ALB, SGA, CRP were not improved in group B2.Conclusion The thyroid hormone level in patients with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis decreases which is dominated with FT3.The decreased thyroid level is significantly correlated with nutrition ( ALB, SGA) and left ventricular function.The administration of small dose of thyroid hormone can improve the left ventricular systolic function.
RESUMO
Objective To observe the correlation of mood changes and serum levels of thyroid hormone in patients with diabetes and depression mood before and after intensive insulin therapy. Methods 340 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) were enrolled, of which 187 cases were given intensive insulin therapy for 3 months and the other 153 cases were treated with oral hypoglycemic. All patients received depression measurement and tests of blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), serum thyroid hormones before and after treatment. The data were analyzed statistically. During the treatment, fasting plasma glucose was controlled in ( 4.4 ～ 6. 1 )mmoL/L and 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose was controlled in (4.4 ～ 8.0) mmol/L. Results Thyroid hormone levels in the diabetic patients with depression mood ( T4 ( 6. 1 ± 1.4 ) μg/dl, T3 ( 0.98 ± 0.26) ng/ml ) were all lower than that in without depression mood ( T4 ( 8.4 ± 1.7 ) μg/dl, T3 ( 1.51 ± 0.29 ) ng/ml ) (P ＜ 0. 01 ), and TSH ( 4.5 ± 1. 1 ) were higher than that in without depression mood ( 1.9 ± 0.9 ) uIU/ml (P ＜ 0.01 ) before insulin treatment. After insulin therapy depression degree( 0.51 ± 0.12) were decreased significantly (0.68 ± 0. 21 )(P＜0.01 ) ,and thyroid hormone levels were significantly increased (T3 (1.38 ± 0. 28 )ng/ml,T4 (7.7 ±1.5 )μg/dl ),and TSH levels were significantly reduced( (2.1 ± 1.2 ) uIU/ml) (P ＜ 0. 01 ) than that before insulin therapy in the patients combined with depression mood. Depression degree was significantly negative correlated with T4 and T3 ( r= - 0.468, - 0.511, P ＜ 0.05 ) and significantly positive correlated with TSH ( r = 0.583, P＜ 0.01 ) before treatment. Decline of depression degree were significantly positive correlated with elevation of T3, T4 levels ( r =0. 395 ,0. 337, P＜0. 05 ) and were significantly negative correlated with decrease of TSH levels( r= -0. 239, P＜0.05 ) after insulin treatment. However, depression degree and thyroid hormone levels did not significantly change before and after in oral antihyperglycemic agents groups. Conclusion Improvement of depression was associated with thyroid hormone levels in type 2 diabetic patients after insulin therapy.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Success of transplantation is critically dependent upon the quality of the donor organ and optimal management. Recently, hormonal replacement therapy has been reported to result in rapid recovery of cardiac function and enable significantly more organs to be transplanted, while some other studies show conflicting results. The aim of this study is to comprehensively evaluate changes in basal circulating hormonal levels of the brain-dead organ donors. METHODS: We reviewed the records of all brain-dead patients between January, 2004, and June, 2007. Hemodynamic variables, plasma hormone levels were recorded at following time points: admission to the ICU (T1, baseline), 30 minutes (min) after first apnea test (T2), 30 min after second apnea test (T3), before operation for harvesting (T4). Hormonal measurements included cortisol, adrenocorticotrophic hormone, triiodothyronine (T(3)), thyroxine, free thyroxine, thyroid-stimulating hormone, growth hormone, and testosterone. RESULTS: Nineteen patients were included in this study. Comparisons of hemodynamic parameters and hormonal levels to baseline values revealed no significant changes throughout the study period. When the patients were divided into 2 groups according to the requirement of norepinephrine (either>0.05 or 0.05microgram/kg/min of norepinephrine had T(3) level below the normal range at significantly more time points of measurement (7 vs. 0). CONCLUSION: In this comprehensive assessment of hormonal levels in brain-dead organ donors, we could not observe any significant changes during the ICU stay. Replacement therapy of T(3) may be considered in patients requiring >0.05microgram/kg/min of norepinephrine.
