    Abstract:
    The aim of the study was to examine tri-iodothyronine, thyroxine, thyroid antibody and thyrotropin receptor antibody levels in thyroid and peripheral venous blood at the time of surgery in patients with Graves' disease. T cell subset patterns in peripheral and thyroidal venous blood were compared to the distribution of T cell subset patterns within the thyroid gland itself. The results showed that at the time of surgery there were no significant differences in any of the parameters measured between thyroidal and peripheral venous samples. T cell subset patterns within the thyroid gland were subjectively similar to those in the venous samples.
