Abstract:
The study included 30 patients with Grave’s disease who were determined with lipid metabolism indices. Lipid spectrums are significant changes in thyrotoxicosis. The cholesterol and LDL decrease and HDL increase in patients with Grave’s disease, which would explain the lower incidence of atherosclerosis in these patients.
Studiul efectuat a inclus 30 pacienţi cu guşă difuză toxică la care au fost determinaţi indicii metabolismului lipidic. Spectrul lipidic se modifică semnificativ în tireotoxicoză. Colesterolul total şi LDL scad, iar HDL creşte la pacienţii cu guşă difuză toxică, ceea ce ar explica incidenţa mai redusă a aterosclerozei la aceşti pacienţi.
