title: [Free thyroxine in burn patient and its clinical significance].
abstract: Using radioimmunoassay serum FT3 and FT4 and S-TSH were determined in 42 patients with different sizes of burn. The results were all in the normal range, indicating that there was only sufficient amount of thyroxine in trauma patients to maintain the lowest basal metabolism for living. The changes in the total T3 and T4 did not conform to that reported elsewhere. It deserves further clinical observation and study.
