Treatment of diffuse toxic goiter with lithium electrophoresis

Abstract

The purpose of this work was to clinically evaluate the efficacy of lithium electrophoresis in some thyroid diseases. We examined 28 patients with primary toxic diffuse goiter aged from 20 to 54 years (2 men and 26 women). Seventeen patients had mild thyrotoxicosis, nine had moderate, and two had severe thyrotoxicosis. Diffuse increase of thyroid gland of I-II degree was found in 22 patients, III - in 6 patients. thyrogenic ophthalmopathy of I-II degree was observed in 6 patients. Conservative antithyroid therapy was required in 23 patients, and 5 patients underwent strumulectomy.
