dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Preoperative treatment options in thyrotoxic patients are antithyroid drugs, potassium iodide, beta blockers and corticosteroids. Sometimes these treatment regimens have not been so successful for the patients to make them ready for the operation. So we thought that plasmapheresis (PP) could be an alternative to these treatments. Methods: Two thyrotoxic patients with Graves' disease and one patient with toxic multinodular goiter were included in the study. All patients were candidates to surgical operation due to the contraindication of other medical treatment choices. On admission, all patients had severe uncontrolled hyperthyroidism. In order to prepare our patients to operation, all the patients were given beta blockers and inorganic potassium iodide and corticosteroid at first but disease control could not be achieved in terms of thyrotoxicosis. So PP was performed at an average of 3 to 5 sessions. Results: After PP, all patients' thyroid hormone concentrations were significantly reduced. One patient had an anaphylactic reaction during 3th session of PP. Total thyroidectomy was performed to all patients without any complications. Conclusions: We concluded that PP could be used as an alternative therapeutic option in the preoperative management of severe thyrotoxic patients. © 2010 Düzce Medical Journal. | en_US |
