Prognostic Value of Basal Serum Thyroglobulin Levels, but Not Basal Antithyroglobulin Antibody (TgAb) Levels, in Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
OBJECTIVE The prognostic values of serum thyroglobulin (Tg) and antithyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) levels, measured immediately before I-131remnant ablation in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), have been advocated by some researchers; however, it had controversial outcomes. This study was carried out to examine this dilemma and to check the clinical significance of basal serum T...

Background: The study was designed to examine the value of post-operative and post-ablative serum . thyroglobulin levels and diagnostic whole body scan in predicting remission in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Methodotogy: Serum TG levels and diagnostic iodine123 wIlole body scans performed prior to and 6-12 months after IlII ablation for ore were evaluated in 100 consecutive p...
متن کاملThyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) methods - Strengths, pitfalls and clinical utility for monitoring TgAb-positive patients with differentiated thyroid cancer.
Thyroglobulin autoantibodies (TgAb) are detected at diagnosis or during treatment in approximately 25% of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). When present, TgAb interferes with thyroglobulin (Tg) measurement causing falsely low or undetectable Tg immunometric assay (IMA) values that can mask disease. Guidelines mandate that every Tg test have TgAb measured simultaneously and quan...
متن کاملBasal Serum Cortisol Levels are not Predictive of Response to Corticotropin but Have Prognostic Significance in Patients with Septic Shock
Because high levels of cortisol are frequently observed in patients with septic shock, low levels of serum cortisol are considered indicative of relative adrenal insufficiency (RAI). This study was performed to investigate whether pretest clinical characteristics, including basal serum cortisol levels, are predictive of serum cortisol response to corticotropin and whether basal cortisol levels ...
متن کامل[Serum thyroglobulin levels in patients with thyroid tumor].
Serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels were measured in 15 normal volunteers, 69 patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma, 22 with adenoma, 45 with adenomatous goiter, 5 with functioning adenoma and 24 with Graves' disease, utilizing a double antibody radioimmunoassay technique. Serum Tg levels in the normal volunteers were found to be less than 30 ng/ml as determined from their mean value, i.e....
