[Modification of the diagnosis of thyroid gland function by iodine-containing roentgen contrast media]
The influence on the parameters of the thyroid gland BEI, T3-, T4- and TSH-serum level by the iodine-containing oral bile X-ray contrast remedy Falignost is demonstrated. Following a peripheral conversions inhibition from T4 to T3 by the contrast remedy the thyroid hormones in the serum are changed in different kind and duration. This influence is more expressed in patients with liver cirrhosis and continues. The risk of an iodine-induced hyperthyroidism is discussed. In the judgment of a possible disturbance of the function of the thyroid gland anamnestically is always to be asked the question about previous applications of iodine-containing drugs and it must be accordingly be taken into consideration.
