Thyroid hormonal status was measured in 80 malnourished children of different grades (I-IV) of protein energy malnutrition (PEM). Serum levels of tri-iodo thyronine (T(3)), thyroxine (T(4)) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were measured by radioimmunoassay. The results were compared with 20 healthy, age and sex matched controls. Levels of T(3) and T(4) were significantly low in PEM cases whereas TSH levels were similar in PEM cases when compared to controls.
对80名患有不同程度(I - IV级)蛋白质能量营养不良(PEM)的营养不良儿童进行了甲状腺激素状态检测。采用放射免疫分析法测定血清三碘甲状腺原氨酸(T(3))、甲状腺素(T(4))和促甲状腺激素(TSH)水平。将结果与20名年龄和性别匹配的健康对照者进行比较。与对照组相比,PEM患儿的T(3)和T(4)水平显著降低,而TSH水平相似。
