[Relationship between clinical classification of hyperthyroidism for three grades of severity and level of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) concentrations in serum].
The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between the clinical classification of hyperthyroidism based on the 3-degree score system and T3 and T4 serum concentration. 161 patients with Graves disease or toxic goiter were studied. By comparing the number of scores separating the 3 subgroups in relation to the severity of disease with T3 and T4 serum concentration of tyreotoxic patients we found a very high statistically significant correlation. We also found the marked (by +50%) statistically significant increase in the serum T3 concentration related to the degree of hyperthyroidism severity.
