[Interrelation of the thyroid and calcium-regulating functions in patients with diffuse toxic goiter]

A comparative analysis of thyroid and calcium regulating functions in the diffuse toxic goiter was performed. At the initial stage TSH reaction to TRH was on a decrease in parallel with a sharp increase in the content of T4 T3. Two-third of the patients revealed an increase in the level of calcitonin resulting in an increase in the ratio of calcitropic hormones. In that case the content of ionized calcium was not increased. In one-third of the patients the level of calcitonin showed a tendency to a decrease in the normal ratio of calcitropic hormones not accompanied by change in the level of ionized calcium. In neurocirculatory dystonia polymorphism of clinical manifestation was accompanied by great variations (both rising and lowering tendencies) of all indices.
