Resumo

the diagnosis of subacute thyroiditis.These findings and those in our previous report of normal erythrocyte zinc concentrations in pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum2 show that the measurement of erythrocyte zinc concentration may be useful in distinguishing transient hyperthyroid states from established hyperthyroidism and might therefore be a valuable addition to the current range of thyroid function tests.Measurement of erythrocyte zinc concentration is fairly simple and provides information that cannot be obtained by conventional thyroid function tests.It may alert the clinician to the correct diagnosis, particularly in patients with "silent" thyroiditis with associated thyrotoxicosis, and therefore avoid inappropriate treatment.
