title: [Classification of thyroid gland disease on the basis of selenium concentration in serum].
abstract: The aim of this study was to estimate the concentration of total selenium in serum women with thyroid gland disease. Selenium was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry using the hydride generation method (HG-AAS). Research was determined in 94 patients with thyroid gland disease and in 28 healthy controls. Selenium concentration of serum was variously in patients than in control group and patients with different thyroid gland diseases. Concentration in control group was 0.06231 microg/ml, in goitre group--0.05612 microg/ml, in hyperthyroidism--0.07149 microg/ml and in hypothyroidism--0.09088 microg/ml.
