Effect on Thyroid Function in Hyperthyroidism Patients after Viral Infection
Objective:To explore thyroid function of hyperthyroidism patients in endocrinology outpatient after virus infection.Methods:This study included hyperthyroidism patients who performed thyroid function testing at the endocrinology outpatient of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital from November 2022 to January 2023.A total of 1118 patients were included in the final analyses.The free triiodothyronine(FT3),free tetraiodothyronine(FT4),and thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH)levels were measured.Results:The serum levels of FT3 and FT4 were significantly increased in hyperthyroidism patients(P<0.05),the FT4 levels were significantly increased in well controlled hyperthyroidism patients(P<0.05)after December 1,2022.Conclusion:FT3 and FT4 levels were elevated in hyperthyroidism patients,FT4 levels were elevated in well controlled hyperthyroidism patients after virus infection.
