Comparison of quality of life in patients with primary postoperative and autoimmune hypothyreosis

Background. Achieving a high level of quality of life is one of the priorities in the treatment of chronic diseases. Focusing on the quality of life, it is possible to optimally adjust the treatment plan for patients, influencing the link that suffers most in this pathology. Hypothyroidism is mainly formed as a result of surgery on the thyroid gland, or autoimmune thyroiditis, and at the same time is one of the most common endocrine diseases, is of great social importance due to the potentially adverse effect on most organs and systems, resulting in a decrease in quality of life.The aim. To analyze the impact of primary hypothyroidism (postoperative hypothyroidism and autoimmune thyroiditis) on the quality of life of patients.Materials and methods. During the study, a clinical, laboratory and psychological study of 78 women with uncompensated primary hypothyroidism was carried out: 40 women aged 32–76 years with postoperative hypothyroidism (main group) and 38 women aged 36–60 years with autoimmune thyroiditis (comparison group). The quality of life was judged by the indicators of the MOS SF-36 questionnaire.Conclusion. In the examined patients with primary hypothyroidism, an association between an increase in TSH levels and a decrease in all indicators of the quality of life was revealed. First, indicators of physical functioning, general health, role and emotional functioning worsened. The dependence of indicators on the MOS SF-36 scales with the age of patients, the duration of hypothyroidism, and the level of TSH was revealed. The quality of life in patients with postoperative hypothyroidism was significantly reduced compared to patients who had hypothyroidism due to autoimmune thyroiditis

Оценка качества жизни пациентов с диффузным токсическим зобом после проведенной тиреоидэктомии

Introduction. Graves’ disease is a disorder associated with thyroid gland producing excessive amounts of hormones which causes changes in the functional status of various organs and systems. Among thyroid disorders it takes the second place (after endemic goitre) in prevalence. Until now, there is no consensus on a single strategy for the treatment of disorders of the thyroid gland. This is why this paper aims to assess the impact of surgical treatment of Graves’ disease on patients’ quality of life and whether it would be possible to improve it by following the surgery with hormone replacement therapy.Materials and methods. This paper presents a retrospective analysis of 70 case histories of patients who received surgical treatment for diffuse toxic goitre at the BIH UR “First Republican Teaching Hospital” MH UR,Izhevsk, in the period from 2008 to 2014. Percentages of the disease by stage were as follows: stage II — 20%, stage III — 70%, stage 4 — 10%. One lobe resection was performed in 3% of patients, two lobe resection — in 1%, hemithyroidectomy — in 18±4.6%, subtotal resection — in 8%, thyroidectomy — in 70±5.5%.Results. Percentages of patients with various degrees of severity of postoperative hypothyroidism were as follows: severe — 66%, medium — 29%, light — 5%; there were no Graves’ disease recurrences. Patients’ complaints following thyroidectomy included body weight gain — 79.1±4.8%, cold in extremities — 83.3±4.4%, cardiac arrhythmia — 85.2±4.2%, oedemas — 84.3±4.3%, drowsiness, atonia — 67.1±5.6%, changes in appetite — 21±4.8%, skin pallor — 47.6±5.9%, brittle nails, hair loss — 51.2±5.9%, joint pain — 31.2±5.53%.Conclusion. Hypothyroidism always follows thyroidectomy and requires ongoing hormone replacement therapy with L-thyroxine. Th quality of life does not have to suffer if an individual dosage is established and followed on a permanent basis.Диффузный токсический зоб — заболевание, сопровождающееся гиперпродукцией гормонов щитовидной железы и изменением в связи с этим функционального состояния различных органов и систем. По распространенности среди заболеваний щитовидной железы занимает второе место после эндемического зоба. До настоящего времени нет общего мнения по поводу единой тактики лечения заболеваний щитовидной железы. В этой связи основной целью настоящего исследования является оценка влияния оперативного лечения диффузного токсического зоба на качество жизни пациентов и возможность его улучшения путем сочетания хирургического лечения с послеоперационной заместительной гормональной терапией.Материалы иметоды. Проведен ретроспективный анализ 70 историй болезни оперированных пациентов с диффузным токсическим зобом в БУЗ УР «Первая Республиканская клиническая больница» МЗ УР, г. Ижевск, за период с 2008 по2014 г. Стадии заболевания: 2-я стадия — 20 %, 3-я стадия — 70 %, 4-я стадия — 10 %. Им были произведены резекция доли — 3 %, резекция обеих долей — 1 %, гемитиреоидэктомия — 18 ± 4,6 %, субтотальная резекция — 8 %, тиреоидэктомия — 70 ± 5,5 %.Результаты. Процент заболевших послеоперационным гипотиреозом: тяжелая степень — 66 %, средняя степень — 29 %, легкая степень — 5 %, рецидивов ДТЗ не было. Жалобы после тиреоидэктомии: прибавка веса — 79,1 % ± 4,8, зябкость конечностей — 83,3 ± 4,4 %, перебои в работе сердца — 85,2 ± 4,2 %, отеки — 84,3 ± 4,3 %, сонливость, вялость — 67,1 ± 5,6 %, нарушение аппетита — 21 ± 4,8 %, бледность кожных покровов — 47,6 ± 5,9 %, ломкость ногтей, выпадение волос — 51,2 ± 5,9 %, боли в суставах — 31,2 ± 5,53 %.Заключение. В результате проведенной тиреоидэктомии всегда возникает гипотиреоз, который требует постоянной заместительной гормональной терапии препаратами L-тироксина. В случае постоянного приема препаратов, индивидуально подобранной дозировки качество жизни не страдает

The first TIPS surgery performed in the Udmurt Republic in a young patient with secondary biliary cirrhosis

Treatment of patients with iatrogenic injuries of the biliary tract is the most difficult and important section in hepatobiliary surgery. When analyzing the causes, it was found that in 70–94 % of cases this type of injury is observed during cholecystectomy. We present a rare clinical case of the development of secondary biliary cirrhosis due to iatrogenic trauma of the biliary tract. This injury caused long-term suffering for the patient due to the further development of complications of cirrhosis, specifically of portal hypertension. The latter caused repeated recurrent profuse bleeding from varicose veins of the esophagus. The use of a minimally invasive transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedure for the first time in the Udmurt Republic was of particular relevance in solving this problem. This procedure has become a key one in solving the abovementioned problems and will become the preventive measure for the cirrhosis progression in the future. It is also important to focus on prophylactic measures aimed at preventing iatrogenic injuries of the biliary tract, as this problem can cause irreversible complications. Prevention should include adequate examination and visualization of the bile ducts and gallbladder before surgery, their careful mobilization, compliance with the rules of operation with electrosurgical instruments, as well as the use of additional minimally invasive techniques such as choledoscopy, cholangiography and intraoperative ultrasound. Besides that, all manipulations should be carried out under strict control and clear visualization of instruments and anatomical structures of organs. The article provides a detailed description of the technique of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt surgery, as well as presents X-ray images obtained during this operation
