Effect Of Selenium On "Low T_3 Syndrome" Inhepatic Failure, Emir Dönder, Mehmet Çay, Necip İlhan, Giyasettin Baydaş, Mustafa Naziroğlu

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Triiodothyronine occurs especially in 5'-monodeiodination of thyroxin in peripheral tissues. Deiodination of thyroxin mainly occurs in the liver. The enzyme which catalyzes this reaction is a seleno-enzyme. Deiodinase enzyme activity and the triiodothyronine level decrease in selenium deficiency. After the occurrence of chronic hepatic failure by carbon tetrachloride in rats, we gave sodium selenite to these rats. Then, we tried to evaluate the changes in thyroid hormone levels. Liver function tests, thyroxin and triiodothyronine levels, and hepatic 5'-deiodinase and glutathione peroxidase enzyme activities were measured. Triiodothyronine levels in the carbon tetrachloride group and carbon tetrachloride + selenium group were significantly …

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

Cryoglobulinemia has been reported rarely to cause false elevation in platelet and/or leukocyte counts due to temperature-dependent protein precipitates that interpreted as blood cells at room temperature. Upon heating to 37°C, these blood counts decrease to normal levels as cryoproteins dissolve. Here, we report two cases with this rare phenomenon that may lead to inappropriate investigations in clinical practice and have diagnostic significance when kept in mind.
