METHOD FOR PRE-OPERATIVE DETECTION OF OPERATION EXTENT IN PATIENTS WITH DIFFUSE TOXIC GOITER

摘要

FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: pre-operative fasting venous blood 1 ml is sampled at room temperature 20-24°C into an anticoagulant-free vacuum system (test tube). The test tubes are delivered in a sealed container at temperature 2-8°C for 2 hours to a laboratory for immunoenzyme assay and analysed to determine anti-thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibodies. If the antibody level is 1.5 units/l or more, a thyroidectomy is performed, whereas the antibody level of less than 1.5 units/l requires performing a subtotal thyroid resection according to standard techniques.EFFECT: invention enables reducing a probability of recurrent thyrotoxicosis in the patients after subtotal thyroid resection.1 ex
