Lithium carbonate is used in the preoperative preparation of Graves' disease. We experienced five patients with Graves' disease who received lithium preparations, because of adverse effects of conventional drugs such as methimazole and propylthiouracil. These patients showed successful surgical outcome without postoperative thyroid storms and recurrences. The administration of lithium carbonate is an effective method for preoperative management of Graves' disease when conventional antithyroid drugs show adverse effects.
碳酸锂用于格雷夫斯病的术前准备。我们遇到了5例格雷夫斯病患者，由于甲巯咪唑和丙硫氧嘧啶等传统药物的不良反应而接受了锂制剂治疗。这些患者手术结果成功，没有术后甲状腺危象和复发。当传统抗甲状腺药物出现不良反应时，碳酸锂给药是格雷夫斯病术前管理的有效方法。
