[Amino acid composition of the blood in patients with diffuse toxic goiter during conservative therapy]

Patients with diffuse toxic goiter were examined for the blood amino acid content and its time-course of changes under the influence of different conservative treatment. Marked abnormalities of the blood amino acid content persisted after isolated thyrostatic therapy. It is evident that in the genesis of dysaminoacidemia of importance is marked deficiency in the body of macroergic compounds, vitamins, trace elements, which is not abolished in the course of substitution therapy. Additional administration of vitamins E, B6, nicotinic acid, panangin, magnesium sulfate and ATP to patients with thyrotoxicosis improves the blood amino acid content and the clinical course of the disease.
