Abstract：Objective To investigate reference range of thyroid hormone after militarization training.Methods 30 soldiers after militarization training were selected as research object. Samples were taken from peripheral blood after militarization training and one month break, free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4) were tested.Results The thyroid hormone reference range of soldiers after militarization training were as follows: FT3 7.14(6.94-7.33) pmol/L、FT4 14.7(14.13-15.75) pmol/L、TSH 1.19(1.12-1.53) mU/L、T3 1.99(1.90-2.02) nmol/L、T4 115.0(107.78-123.97) nmol/L; thyroid hormone reference range of soldiers after one month break were as follows: FT3 7.42(7.16-7.78) pmol/L、FT4 15.3(14.66-16.60) pmol/L、TSH 2.11(1.97-2.77) mU/L、T3 2.10(1.99-2.14) nmol/L、T4 94.40(89.75-102.78) nmol/L. Level of FT3、TSH、T3 after one month break were all higher than that just after militarization training, but level of T4 was lower than that just after militarization training, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05); level of FT4 after one month break was lower than that just after militarization training, but there was no statistically significant difference.Conclusions Militarization training could disturb thyroid hormone, so it is helpful to avoid non-combat casualties by determining thyroid hormone reference range after militarization training.
