Induction of Myxedema by Iodide in Patients Euthyroid after Radioiodine or Surgical Treatment of Diffuse Toxic Goiter

Braverman, Lewis E., Woeber, Kenneth A., Ingbar, Sidney H.·1969·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

In all 10 patients with diffuse toxic goiter of Graves disease rendered euthyroid by radioiodine six months to six years earlier, myxedema (as evidenced by typical signs and symptoms, rises in serum TSH and cholesterol concentrations and decrease in serum thyroxine into the hypothyroid range) developed after small, pharmacologic doses of iodide. Of seven similar patients who had been treated surgically, frank hypothyroidism developed in two, one remained entirely unchanged, and the remaining four displayed slight abnormalities in serum thyroxine or TSH concentrations without overt hypothyroidism. The thyroid gland in Graves disease appears to be inherently susceptible to the induction of iodide myxedema, and such susceptibility may be enhanced or its demonstration facilitated by radioiodine treatment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
