Abstract:
Serum Ca, P, AKP, plasma iPTH, cAMP, urinary Hyp and BMC were measured in 31 cases of Graves' disease. The results showed that about 66.67% of the patients (including 21 controlled and 10 uncontrolled cases) had a decreased BMC, while serum Ca, P, plasma iPTH, cAMP were within the normal range. The data also showed that about 54.6% of the patients had increased serum AKP, but it would not exceed 25 U if no hepatic disease existed. There were positive correlations between serum T, and urinary Hyp, and between urinary Hyp and serum AKP, but a negative correlation between urinary Hyp and BMC. It was suggested that serum AKP and urinary Hyp could be considered as the indices of negative balance of bone metabolism in Graves' disease, and probably it was induced by excessive thyroid hormone directly.
