The wound process is considered to be the local and general organism’ responses which are developed to damaged tissues. The number of individuals with combat trauma was extremely increased due to Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine started in February 2022. The wound healing and the course of wound process depend on large number of factors one of them is thyroid status. The impact of thyroid hormones on the particularities of combat traumas’ healing is the background of this investigation. The purpose of this research was to determine the link between wound sizes and thyroid hormones serum level at different period of the wound process.
Material and methods. 30 militaries with wounds of soft tissues of different sizes have taken part in this study. The average age of wounded men was 34.2+ 4.3. The average body mass was 78 ±3.5 kg. Free T3 and T4, TSH concentrations have been determined.
Results. During investigation free T3 concentration was at level 3.4-5.2 pmol/L and hasn’t statistically changed in all the participants comparing to its concentration within 1-3 days. The concentration of free T4 did not differ in militaries with minimal as well as with mild injuries. The levels of free T4 hormones were significantly (р<0.05) higher in severely wounded men during the entire duration of the investigation. TSH levels considerably (р<0.05) increased in wounded men with severe and mild wounds in compare with participants with minimal wounds on 1-5 days. However, the concentration of TSH significantly (р<0.05) declined in the all groups of wounded on 14th day of the investigation.
Conclusions. The concentrations of free T4 and TSH significantly increased in wounded men with severe and mild wounds on 1-5 days after wounding. The concentrations of free T3 haven’t considerably changed.
