[The state of thyroid system in patients with non-traumatic supratentorial hematomas].
Abstract Concentrations of thyroid hormones (thyrotrophic - TTG, T3, T4) were measured with radioimmunological assay in the blood serum of 69 operated patients with supratentorial stroke interbrain hematomas. Hematomas were removed using a puncture/ aspiration method with local fibrinolysis. The lethality was 19%. It has been shown that medial hematomas lead to the decrease in TTG secretion while lateral and lobar ones inhibit T4 and T3 synthesis. Replacement therapy with thyroid hormones is needed to improve results of operative treatment of non-traumatic interbrain hematomas.
