Abstract Objective To investigate the efficacy of Methimazole and Propylthiouracil in the treatment of diffuse toxic goiter (Graves disease) complicated with Hashimoto hyperthyroidism and their influence on thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb),thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) and thyrotropin receptor antibody (TRAb).Methods A total of 98 patients with Graves disease complicated with Hashimoto hyperthyroidism treated in the Endocrine Clinic of the First People′s Hospital of Zhaoqing City from September 2018 to August 2019 were selected as the research objects.They were divided into the observation group (49 cases) and the control group (49 cases) according to random number table method.The observation group was treated with Methimazole,and the control group was treated with Propylthiouracil.The clinical efficacy,the changes of TPOAb,TGAb and TRAb indexes and the total incidence of adverse reactions were observed in the two groups.Results After treatment,the levels of TPOAb,TgAb,TRAb,free triiodothyrine (FT3),free thyroid hormone (FT4) in the two groups were lower than those before treatment,the proportions of hypermetabolic symptom reduction and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in the two groups were higher than those before treatment,the levels of TPOAb,TgAb,TRAb,FT3,FT4 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,the proportions of hypermetabolic symptom reduction and TSH in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).The total incidence of adverse reactions after treatment in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion For the treatment of Graves disease complicated with Hashimoto hyperthyroidism,Propylthiouracil and Methimazole can play a better therapeutic effect.Among them,Methimazole has a better therapeutic effect than Propylthiouracil,with less adverse reactions and high safety,which is worthy of wide clinical promotion.
