초록

본 증례는 그레이브스병에 의한 갑상선기능항진증으로 진단된 환자에서 메티마졸 단독 투여에도 계속된 갑상선기능항진증의 증상치료를 위하여 한의 변증진단(辨證診斷) 과정을 통하여 심담허겁(心膽虛㥘)과 심화상염(心火上炎) 변증형(辨證形)을 도출하고 가미온담탕(加味溫膽湯)에 청심연자음(淸心蓮子飮)을 합방(合方)한 한약을 메티마졸과 병행투여 한 사례이다. 본 증례에서 한약이 메티마졸의 갑상선 호르몬 억제 효과는 계속 유지하면서 갑상선기능항진증 환자의 증상을 완화한 효과를 보여준 결과는 갑상선기능항진증 치료에 있어서 한약이 베타 차단제를 대체하여 메티마졸과 병행투여할 수 있는 약물로써 가능성이 있다는 것을 보여준다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the symptomatic relief effect of a herbal prescription combined with methimazole for hyperthyroidism caused by Graves' disease. Methods : After diagnosis of hyperthyroidism, methimazole was initially administered alone. As the clinical symptoms continued, a herbal medicine combining Gamiondam-tang and Cheongsimyeonja-eum was administered together with methimazole. Blood concentrations of hormones were measured, and the degree of clinical symptoms was measured using the NRS scale. The effect of herbal medicine on heat intolerance was analyzed by Wilcoxon rank sum test, and the relationship between thyroid hormone and heat intolerance was analyzed by Pearson's correlation coefficient. Results : Heat intolerance symptoms were significantly reduced when the herbal prescription was administered in parallel than when methimazole was administered alone (w=296, p=0.001). The decrease in heat intolerance was not related to thyroid hormone levels (p=0.27, 0.37). Conclusions : It was found that the herbal medicine combining Gamiondam-tang and Cheongsimyeonja-eum was effective in treating hyperthyroidism symptoms including heat intolerance.
