Thyroxine-Binding Globulin Concentrations
Plasma thyroid hormone concentrations may be abnormal in non-thyroid disease and pose diagnostic problems. For example, concentrations of triiodothyronine (T3) in the blood decline in acute illness with a reciprocal increase in reverse triiodothyronine (reverse T3), but thyroxine (T4) concentrations are usually normal or only slightly decreased (1, 2). However, McLarty et al. (3) reported that ...
متن کاملDifferentiating Graves' disease from subacute thyroiditis using ratio of serum free triiodothyronine to free thyroxine
BACKGROUND The measurement of free thyroid hormone, instead of the total form, is more commonly used in current practice. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of the ratio of serum free triiodothyronine (FT3, pg/mL) to free thyroxine (FT4, ng/dL) for differentiating Graves' disease from subacute thyroiditis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records of thyrotoxic patients aged >15 years who had me...
متن کاملFamilial thyroxine-binding globulin deficiency.
Genetically determined thyroxine-binding globulin deficiency is described in two families in the United Kingdom. All subjects in both pedigrees were euthyroid. Transmission was by sex-linkage; males showed low serum protein bound iodine and high thyroxine (T4) resin uptake due to complete absence of serum thryroxine-binding globulin; females were less severely affected. The distinctive biochemi...
متن کاملSerum free thyroxine and free triiodothyronine concentrations in pregnancy.
Blood was taken from women in each trimester of pregnancy at routine antenatal visits. Further samples were collected from an age matched control group of euthyroid women taking no medication. Free triiodothyronine and free thyroxine concentrations were measured by direct radioimmunoassay (Amerlex Kit methods, Amersham International, Amersham, Buckinghamshire).2 These free hormone assays use th...
متن کاملLevothyroxine therapy and serum free thyroxine and free triiodothyronine concentrations.
Although the normal thyroid gland secretes both levothyroxine (L-T4) and levotriiodothyronine (L-T3), normalization of serum TSH with L-T4-replacement therapy alone in hypothyroidism is generally believed to result in a normal serum L-T3 and to reflect a euthyroid state. However several recent studies suggest that this may not be the case. Accordingly, the relationship between serum free L-T4 a...
