thyroxine concentrations measured within 3h of admission to the Intensive Therapy Unit to …

Tissue hypoxia occurs in various conditions such as myocardial or brain ischemia and
infarction, sepsis, and trauma, and induces cellular damage and tissue remodeling with …

Introduction and Methods: Critical illness is associated with reduced TSH and thyroid
hormone secretion, and with changes in peripheral thyroid hormone metabolism, resulting in …

Background: The low plasma triiodothyronine (T3) observed during prolonged critical illness
can be explained in part by suppressed hepatic deiodinase type I (D1) and increased D3 …

Objectives: Reported studies have showed alter-nations of thyroid hormones in critical
illness mostly in adults and some in children. In this study, we aimed to measure thyroid …

To delineate the metabolic fate of thyroid hormone in prolonged critically ill rabbits, we
investigated the impact of two dose regimes of thyroid hormone on plasma 3, 3 …

Increasing evidence suggests that pro-inflammatory cytokines are at play in lowering
peripheral thyroid hormone levels during critical illness. Conversely, thyroid hormones have …

Objective To study thyroid hormone profile in critically ill children and its correlation to
disease severity and clinical outcome. Methods Total serum triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine …

Patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) typically present with decreased concentrations of
plasma tri-iodothyronine, low thyroxine, and normal range or slightly decreased …

Thyroid function was measured in 86 patients hospitalized in an intensive care unit. Two
