Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) may develop either in apparently normal glands (type II AIT) or in the presence of thyroid abnormalities (type I AIT). Sometimes AIT is resistant to conventional treatment. Thyroidectomy was used in patients with AIT, but in patients who are thyrotoxic it may be hazardous. METHODS; Seven patients with AIT (6 type I and 1 type II, 5 men, 2 women, mean age 70 years [range, 60-82 years]) were prepared for total thyroidectomy with a short course of iopanoic acid (1 g/day orally for a mean of 13 days), an oral iodinated cholecystographic agent inhibiting 5'-deiodinase and causing a reduction in the peripheral conversion of thyroxine to triiodothyronine. Mean thyroid volume was 64 mL (range, 10-145 mL).
Mean serum-free triiodothyronine levels decreased from 20 +/- 16.7 pmol/L to 6 +/- 2 pmol/L (P =.0004), whereas serum-free thyroxine values remained unchanged. Euthyroidism was rapidly (7-20 days) restored, allowing an uncomplicated total thyroidectomy in all patients and the ability to continue amiodarone therapy in 6 patients. None had increased surgical bleeding, recurrent nerve palsy, or hypoparathyroidism. No cardiovascular complications occurred.
Iopanoic acid is an effective drug allowing rapid control of hyperthyroidism in AIT.
胺碘酮所致甲状腺毒症(AIT)可在甲状腺外观正常时发生(II型AIT),也可在存在甲状腺异常时发生(I型AIT)。有时AIT对传统治疗有抵抗性。甲状腺切除术曾用于AIT患者,但对于甲状腺毒症患者可能具有危险性。方法:7例AIT患者(6例I型和1例II型,5例男性,2例女性,平均年龄70岁[范围60 - 82岁])接受了短疗程碘番酸(每天口服1 g,平均13天)准备行全甲状腺切除术,碘番酸是一种口服胆囊造影碘剂,可抑制5'-脱碘酶并减少甲状腺素向三碘甲状腺原氨酸的外周转化。平均甲状腺体积为64 mL(范围10 - 145 mL)。
平均血清游离三碘甲状腺原氨酸水平从20±16.7 pmol/L降至6±2 pmol/L(P = 0.0004),而血清游离甲状腺素值保持不变。甲状腺功能正常迅速(7 - 20天)恢复,所有患者均顺利进行了全甲状腺切除术,6例患者能够继续胺碘酮治疗。无一例出现手术出血增加、喉返神经麻痹或甲状旁腺功能减退。未发生心血管并发症。
碘番酸是一种有效药物,可快速控制AIT中的甲状腺功能亢进。
