TI  - Hyperthyroid graves disease--a 5 year retrospective study.
PG  - 224-30
AB  - The clinical, biochemical and immunological features of 180 patients with 
      hyperthyroid Graves' disease managed at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) 
      Endocrine Clinic from 1983 to 1987 were examined. The prevalence of the disease 
      is highest in Chinese and lowest in Indians. The female: male ratio is 2.8:1. 
      Hypokalaemic periodic paralysis and hypercalcaemia were present in 5.0% and 1.7% 
      of the cases respectively. Pretibial myxoedema was extremely rare. Thyrotropin - 
      binding inhibitory immunoglobulins, anti-thyroglobulin and anti-microsome 
      antibodies were positive in 61.5%, 25.8% and 42.3% of the patients respectively. 
      A eumetabolic state could be achieved in the majority of patients with 
      antithyroid drugs alone. Definitive therapy with subtotal thyroidectomy or 
      radioiodine were needed in 31.3% of cases.
