Abstract
Serum triiodothyronine levels were elevated in 6 patients with thyroid storm (769 ± 181 ng/100 ml) but the values observed were not significantly different from those found in uncomplicated thyrotoxicosis (752 ± 282 ng/100 ml). This observation suggests that the pathogenesis of thyroid storm resides in mechanisms other than a simple increase in serum triiodothyronine con centration.Keywords
