[Protein bound iodine indices in patients with mastopathy].

Under study was the content of blood protein bound iodine (SBI) in 102 patients with mastopathy, aged from 18 to 44 years. The law of distribution of these indices was formulated, and the mean values were determined for 6 ethiopathogenetic groups of patients. The mean value for the whole selected group prior to the treatment (3.95 +/- 0.14 mKg%) was significantly less than in the control group of healthy females (5.81 +/- 0.21 mKg%). The asthenic-depressive syndrome and other factors were shown to influence the changes in the thyroid activity in some patients with mastopathy.
