[Significance of hypophyseo-thyroid disorders in chronic obstructive bronchitis]. 1989

L M Pechatnikov

Blood levels of TSH, T3 and T4 were evaluated in patients suffering from aggravated chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB). Low levels of T3, T4, and T3 plus T4 were recorded in 55.4%, 13.9% and 20.8% of patients, respectively. Though TSH levels were elevated in 71.3%, its hyposecretion was present as well (in 17.8% of the examinees). The findings suggest a conclusion on a secondary, compensatory nature of hypothyroidism in COB, therefore no specific treatment is needed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006964	Hyperpituitarism	Disease of the glandular, anterior portion of the pituitary (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR) resulting in hypersecretion of ADENOHYPOPHYSEAL HORMONES such as GROWTH HORMONE; PROLACTIN; THYROTROPIN; LUTEINIZING HORMONE; FOLLICLE STIMULATING HORMONE ; and ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE. Hyperpituitarism usually is caused by a functional ADENOMA.

D007037	Hypothyroidism	A syndrome that results from abnormally low secretion of THYROID HORMONES from the THYROID GLAND, leading to a decrease in BASAL METABOLIC RATE. In its most severe form, there is accumulation of MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES in the SKIN and EDEMA, known as MYXEDEMA. It may be primary or secondary due to other pituitary disease, or hypothalamic dysfunction.
