Abstract

Serum concentrations of T4, T3 and reverse T3 were studied in two hyperthyroid groups (n = 13 and 11), in a group of normals (n = 9) and in a group of L-T4 substituted patients (n = 7) with severe pretreatment hypothyroidism. Serum T4 did not change except in one of the hyperthyroid groups change to in which a slight decrease was found. In all groups a significant fall in serum T3 and a significant rise in serum reverse T3 were found. An expected increase in serum TSH in the normal and in the L-T4 substituted groups could not be demonstrated.
