Description

Objective: To explore the clinical significance of changes of serum FT3, FT4, SIL-2R levels after treatment in patients with hyperthyroidism. Methods: Serum FT3, FT4, TSH (with RIA) and SIL-2R (with ELISA) levels were measured in 55 patients with hyperthyroidism both before and after treatment as well as in 35 controls. Results: Before treatment, in the patients the serum FT3, FT4, SIL-2R levels were significantly higher than those in the controls (P<0.01). After treatment for 3 months the serum FT3, FT4, SIL-2 levels were not significantly different from those in controls (P>0.05). Conclusion: Detection of serum FT3, FT4, SIL-2R levels is valuable for treatment outcome prediction in patients with hyperthyroidism. (authors)
