Symptoms of thyroid dysfunction are difficult to detect in elderly people and TSH is sometimes unreliable. We therefore tested the value of SHBG as a marker of thyroid hormone action on the liver to determine the thyroid status of elderly people. Aging euthyroid men and women have a significant increase in SHBG (p > 0.0001). In aging women the decrease in SHBG with hypothyroidism and increase with hyperthyroidism are highly significant (p < 0.0001 and p < 0.0005 respectively). No significant variation in SHBG was observed in men with thyroid dysfunction. SHBG can help to determine the thyroid status of aging women.
甲状腺功能障碍的症状在老年人中很难被察觉,而且促甲状腺激素(TSH)有时也不可靠。因此,我们测试了性激素结合球蛋白(SHBG)作为甲状腺激素对肝脏作用的标志物的价值,以确定老年人的甲状腺状态。甲状腺功能正常的老年男性和女性的SHBG显著增加(p>0.0001)。在老年女性中,甲状腺功能减退时SHBG降低,甲状腺功能亢进时SHBG升高,差异非常显著(分别为p<0.0001和p<0.0005)。甲状腺功能障碍的男性中未观察到SHBG有显著变化。SHBG有助于确定老年女性的甲状腺状态。
