[Endocrine function in stomach yin deficiency syndrome (SYDS): research on patients with SYDS following abdominal surgery or severe acute abdominal diseases (II)].
Patients with SYDS following abdominal operation or with severe acute abdominal diseases were observed on changes of the thyroid, adrenal function and digestive hormones. The results showed that the serum concentration of T3 in patients with SYDS decreased by about 50% with the control (P less than 0.001). The concentration of T4 decreased too (P less than 0.001). The rT3 content increased and there were no obvious changes in the content of TSH and T3RUR. The manifestations conformed to "low T3 syndrome" in nonthyroid diseases. The amount of urine 17-KS and 17-OHCS per 24 hours decreased (P less than 0.001 and P less than 0.05 respectively). The serum gastrin level decreased by 60.4% with the control (P less than 0.002) and that of VIP increased (P less than 0.05). The results suggested that the patients had decreased thyroid and adrenal function and the secretion of hormones of digestive tract decreased.
