title: [Changes of thyroid hormone levels in the perioperative period in patients with various types of goiter].
abstract: The thyroid hormone level was studied in the perioperative period in patients with various types of goitre. The clinical material comprised 85 patients treated surgically for nodular neutral goitre, nodular hyperactive goitre, Graves-Basedow disease, and cholecystolithiasis. The determination of total and free thyroid hormone blood serum levels was carried out in three periods of time, that is 4-5 days before operation, immediately after operation, and on the fifth day after operation. The obtained results led us to reaching the following conclusions: 1. Achieving of clinical euthyroid state in patients with Graves-Basedow disease during preoperative preparation with thyrostatic drugs was connected with the decrease of total and free thyroid hormone levels below the lower range of normal values which persisted immediately after, and on the 4th-5th day after operation. 2. During operation no significant increase was found of serum thyroid hormone levels. 3. On the 4th-5th day after operation, especially in patients with nodular neutral goitre and cholecystolithiasis a tendency was observed for a drop of triiodothyronine level, especially of its free fraction level.
