Red cell sodium in hyperthyroidism.

A simple method of measuring red cell sodium has shown that about 90% of thyrotoxic patients have values above the upper limit of the normal range. Patients taking 0.3 mg of L-thyroxine daily were found to have a significantly higher mean value for red cell sodium than that of the normal controls. It is suggested that patients taking this amount of thyroxine may be hypermetabolic. The determination of red cell sodium may prove useful as a measure of the peripheral action of thyroid hormone.

Treatment of thyrotoxicosis with low doses of radioactive iodine.

In a series of 156 thyrotoxic patients treated with low doses of radioactive iodine the therapeutic dose was calculated by means of a sliding scale in which the dose level was varied according to the estimated size of the gland. Of the patients so treated 56.5% achieved a remission with a single dose of (131)I. The incidence of hypothyroidism at one year was 5%.
