Fatores Interferentes na Interpretação de Dosagens Laboratoriais no Diagnóstico de Hiper e Hipotireoidismo

Abstract: Laboratory Interfering Factors in the Diagnosis of Hyper and Hypothyroidism.Since the first reports in the medical literature describing the clinical presentation of hypo and hyperthyroidism, very little has changed on the semiologic scenario of these entities and even in their therapeutic approach. The changing trends refer much more to the tools used to diagnose thyroid disease. In parallel with these developments, we understand much better about the factors that interfere in the interpretation of thyroid fu… Show more

“…In this study, as stated before, the higher serum concentration of T 3 on the day of parturition (1.77 ng/ml) when compared to the periods of lactation could be related to the glucocorticoid concentrations, which increase at the end of gestation (Chopra et al, 1975;Mathur et al, 1980). The glucocorticoids stimulate the hepatic and renal deiodination of T 4 and T 3 , which increases the serum concentration of T 3 and may decrease the concentration of T 4 (Thomas et al, 1978;Graf and Carvalho, 2002). However, a decrease in the concentration of T 4 was not observed in this study, in which their values of 42.43 ng/ml immediately after parturition and 34.66 ng/ ml at 30 days of lactation were greater than the concentrations observed at 60 and 90 days of lactation (26.81 and 27.50 ng/ml, respectively).…”

“…Furosemide binds strongly to tireoglobulin and produces a discreet dislocation of T4, increasing free T4 fraction (27,32). In low concentrations, 3 µmol/L, it does not show any effect on the hormones, but in high doses, of 30 µmol/L, it increases free T4 (33,34).…”

“…This blockage may be due to the inhibition of the expression of the gene for the b subunit of TSH that leads to the inhibition of the amplitude of nocturnal TSH peaks (27,28). The inhibition of dopaminergic receptors, however, does not stimulate TSH (27,28).…”

“…Cortisol stimulates hepatic and renal deiodination from T 4 to T 3 by type 1 deiodinase. In addition, the cortisol wave at pre-parturition and at parturition increases the circulating T 3 concentration and may reduce the T 4 serum concentration (Graf and Carvalho, 2002). However, a decrease in the T 4 concentration was not observed in the present study, and its value at parturition (42.43 ng/ml) did not differ from the values observed at the three points of time during gestation (38.74; 38.67; 37.92 ng/ml for the first, second, and last third respectively).…”
