Objective:To analyze the value of shear wave velocity (SWV) combined with thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism.Methods:Thirty-five patients with hyperthyroidism who were treated and confirmed in the Fuyang Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from December 2017 to September 2019 were selected as hyperthyroidism group, and 30 cases of normal health check-up patients in the outpatient department were selected as control group. All of the patients and medical persons were checked by conventional two-dimensional ultrasound and SWV, and the SWV and serum TSH, thyrotrophin receptor antibody(TRAb), thyroglobulin antibody (TGAb), thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) expression levels of two groups were tested and compared. The correlation relationship in SWV value and serum TSH, TRAb, TGAb, TPOAb levels of hyperthyroidism patients was analyzed by Pearson methods. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) method was used to analyze the value of SWV, serum TSH and SWV combined with serum in diagnosis of hyperthyroidism.Results:The SWV values of upper pole, middle pole and lower pole in the hyperthyroidism group had no significant differences ( P>0.05). The SWV values of upper hole, middle pole and lower pole of the left and right lobe of thyroid in the hyperthyroidism group were significantly higher than those in the control group [left lobe: (2.41 ± 0.34) m/s vs. (2.07 ± 0.28) m/s, (2.44 ± 0.39) m/s vs. (2.08 ± 0.25) m/s, (2.46 ± 0.43) m/s vs. (2.04 ± 0.30) m/s; right lobe: (2.47 ± 0.42) m/s vs.(2.01 ± 0.25) m/s, (2.41 ± 0.40) m/s vs. (1.95 ± 0.23) m/s, (2.43 ± 0.35) m/s vs. (2.06 ± 0.24) m/s] ( P<0.01). The serum TSH level in the hyperthyroidism group were significantly lower than that in the control group [(0.05 ± 0.03) kU/L vs. (2.74 ± 1.17) kU/L], while serum TRAb, TGAb and TPOAb levels were significantly higher than those in the control group [(15.82 ± 5.54) U/L vs. (0.55 ± 0.13) U/L, (290.63 ± 145.03) kU/L vs. (25.63 ± 7.12) kU/L, (627.17 ± 250.33) kU/L vs. (34.32 ± 5.95) kU/L], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01). In the hyperthyroidism group, the SWV was negatively correlated with serum TSH ( r=- 0.862, P<0.05), but positively correlated with serum TRAb, TGAb and TPOAb ( r=0.763, 0.837, 0.804, P<0.05). The area under curve(AUC), sensitivity and specificity of combined diagnosis of hyperthyroidism with SWV value and serum TSH were 0.936, 94.29% and 91.43%, which was better than that of SWV (0.803, 80.00%, 74.29%) and serum TSH (0.842, 82.86%, 77.14%). Conclusions:SWV combined with TSH has a high clinical value in the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism.
