Gietka-Czernel M. , Debska M. , Kretowicz P. , Jastrzebska H. , Wasniewska G.

Fetal ultrasonography is recommended in pregnant women with elevated TSH receptor antibodies (TRAK) or treated with antithyroid drugs in attempt to recognize fetal thyroid dysfunction. We report two cases of pregnant women with Graves’ disease in whom fetal thyroid ultrasonography was especially useful in diagnosing child involvement.A 33-year-old woman at 30-week pregnancy with 3-months history of hyperthyroidism treated with propylothiouracil (PTU...

Aim: Estimation of the effectiveness of a single low dose 0.05 mg rhTSH in increasing radioiodine uptake (RAIU) before 131I therapy for multinodular toxic goiter with low initial RAIU.Patients: 24 patients (21 women, 3 men) with multinodular toxic goiter without prior antithyroid drug therapy. The initial 24 h RAIU was 21.1±8.44%; range, 6–39% and thyroid volume 64.14±22.49 ml; range, 24.8–109 ml.Meth...

Background: The reported occurrence and management of acute adrenal insufficiency–related adverse events in children vary widely between centres and may depend on available resources.Methods: Real world data from the I-CAH Registry from 44 centres [32 from high income (HIC) and 12 from low/middle income (LMIC) countries] and a total number of 607 children were linked to the results of a health care survey of local r...
