Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
How to obtain an optimal efficiency of plasma exchanges in the treatment of severe hyperthyroidism has not been defined. In order to evaluate how long the exchanges must be continued to be fully effective in extracting thyroid hormones, we evaluated the extraction rate by repeated plasma sampling in two hyperthyroid patients and three euthyroid subjects who underwent a total of seven exchanges. Plasma concentrations of thyroid hormones were also determined just before, just after, and 24 hours following the exchange. The hormonal removal rate did not fall dramatically during the exchange, so that its efficiency--in terms of hormone extraction--depends closely on its duration. The determination of plasma thyroid hormone concentrations after the exchange does not appear to be useful in evaluating the thyroid hormone loss since these concentrations may not change in spite of the hormonal extraction. |
