Dialysable Thyroxine Index in the Assessment of Thyroid Status.
نویسنده
چکیده
A method is described for assessing thyroid status by estimating plasma thyroxine and dialysable thyroxine and multiplying these two to give a dialysable thyroxine index. Certain difficulties which sometimes invalidate other thyroid function tests are avoided. The techniques are relatively simple and clear differentiation between thyroid states can usually be made.

A Simple Technique Using 'dialysable' Thyroxine for Assessment of Thyroid Status.
A simple method for assessing thyroid status is described in which the percentage of radioactive thyroxine dialysed through a semi-permeable membrane between plasma samples is estimated. The results compare favourably with other tests in vitro.
متن کاملThe T 4 -free thyroxine index as a test of thyroid function of first choice.
The T(4)-free thyroxine index was used as the thyroid function test of first choice in a district general hospital for one year. Ninety-two patients were assessed both initially and at follow up by a single physician. The index agreed with clinical assessment in 69 out of 74 patients in whom diagnosis was unequivocal. There was initial doubt about thyroid status in 14 patients; after re-assessm...

متن کاملEvaluation of new kits for the assessment in vitro of thyroid function by determination of serum total thyroxine, free TBG capacity, and free thyroxine index using Sephadex G-25 and '25I-labelled triiodothyronine and thyroxine
SYNOPSIS A trial was carried out on 134 patients of new kits (Ames Co) using columns of Sephadex G-25 for the determination of serum total thyroxine (Tetralute test) and for the indirect estimation of serum free thyroxine-binding globulin capacity (Trilute test). Both new methods were quicker and easier than the reference resin methods and of similar precision. The two measurements when combine...
