[QKD-time in thyroid-gland function diagnosis].
In altogether 205 patients with euthyroidism, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism the QKD-time was determined. With the help of this examination should be tested whether by means of this simple functional test of the cardiac circulation indirectly is possible also a judgment of the function of the thyroid gland. Essentially in the calculated mean values a differentiation between euthyroidism, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism could be made statistically. Since between the individual groups considerable overlappings of the individual values occur the exactness of the test is very much restricted in the preliminary diagnostics of diseases of the thyroid gland. We are of the opinion that the QKD-time is insufficient for the judgment of the function of the thyroid gland.
