چکیده

introduction: determination of thyrotropin, total and free thyroxine and triiodothyronine are widely used as diagnostic methods for thyroid function evaluation. there have been numerous reports of interferences in thyroid hormone immunoassays. herein, a prominent positive interference is reported for a radioimmunoassay kit of total triiodothyronine. materials and methods: in this study, a total of 3471 patients, referred by endocrinologists, were examined by serum level measurement of thyroid stimulating hormone (tsh), total thyroxine (t4) and triiodothyronine (t3). t3 analysis was made through a competitive solid-phase radio labeled (i125) immunoassay by t3 izotop kit (izotop co. budapest, hungary). the presence of t3 assay interference was considered probable if the hormone profile was inconsistent with the clinical picture and/or the obtained value for t3 was extremely deviated from normal levels, i.e. it was above 780 ng/dl. for such patients, the possibility of t3 assay interference was investigated through re-measuring t3 level by another ria kit (immunotech kit, marseille, france). results: among 3471 patients studied, 40 cases (36 women, 4 men), with a mean±d age of 38.8±15.0 years, had t3 serum levels inconsistent with their clinical pictures and/or above 780 ng/dl. the mean serum levels of t4 and tsh in this group were 9.0±2.0 μg/dl and 1.79±1.47 μu/ml, respectively. in all these 40 cases, t3 level was in the normal range according to t3-immunotech kit (with a mean±sd of 132.k1±31.0 ng/dl), in accordance with their clinical pictures. conclusion: results clearly indicate the presence of positive interference(s) in some of t3 assays made with izotop t3-ria kits. the probable explanations for the observed positive interference are discussed.

Positive interference by danazol in a testosterone radioimmunoassay kit procedure.

We describe a problem in measuring serum testosterone concentrations in the serum of women who are taking danazol. The Diagnostic Products Corporation testosterone radioimmunoassay gives very high apparent testosterone concentrations in these women and the value obtained depends on the volume of serum extracted per assay tube. Chromatography of the serum extracts on Sephadex LH-20, but not on C...

Determination of free thyroxine in serum by radioimmunoassay.

We describe a sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay for free thyroxine, directly determined in the diffusate obtained from equilibrium dialysis of serum. The intra- and interassay precisions were 7.5 +/- 0.27 and 9.1 +/- 0.58 ng/liter (mean +/- SD), respectively. The free thyroxine concentrations of normal persons and patients with thyroid disease were as follows: normal, 7.6 +/- 1.7; euthyro...

Total estriol in serum and plasma as determined by radioimmunoassay.

We present and discuss the results of a statistical study of a set of radioimmunoassay data obtained from parallel determinations of the total estriol content of samples of serum and plasma prepared from 98 specimens of whole blood, taken from pregnant woman. Estriol concentrations in the serum exceed by an average of 7% the values found for the plasma prepared from the same whole-blood specime...

Lipid interference in steroid radioimmunoassay.

To study lipid interference in steroid radioimmunoassays in which dextran-coated charcoal is used as the separating agent, we tested triolein and phosphatidylcholine as model hydrophobic and amphipathic lipids, respectively. Addition of either caused distortion of the standard curve to an extent that was inversely related to the polarity of the steroid molecule. Both lipids form a dispersion th...

Enzymatic determination of total serum cholesterol.

An enzymatic method is described for determination of total serum cholesterol by use of a single aqueous reagent. The method requires no prior treatment of sample and the Calibration curve is linear to 600 mg/dl. Cholesterol esters are hydrolyzed to free cholesterol by cholesterol ester hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.13). The free cholesterol produced is oxidized by cholesterol oxidase to cholest-4-en-3-o...
