Radioelectrophoresis for determination of thyroid hormone binding abnormalities in human serum.
This paper describes a rapid and accurate method for determining binding abilities of thyroid hormones to their corresponding serum proteins: prealbumin, albumin and thyroxine binding globulin. A tube cell agarose gel electrophoresis is used with radioactive labelled triiodothyronine or thyroxine. The distribution curve shows characteristic peaks for prealbumin, albumin and thyroxine binding gl...
متن کاملCongenital hypothyroidism with hereditary, raised thyroxine binding globulin.
A boy with congenital hypothyroidism and hereditary raised thyroxine binding globulin is described. This hitherto unreported combination resulted in under treatment of the thyroid deficiency until serum thyroid stimulating hormone measurement became routinely available. Inadequate L-thyroxine replacement treatment between 2 and 7 years of age caused retarded bone maturation, poor growth velocit...
متن کاملThyrotrophin estimation in diagnosis and treatment of childhood thyroid disorders.
Serum thyrotrophin (TSH) was estimated by double-antibody radioimmunoassay in 200 children aged 2 months to 16 years with normal thyroid function. There was no apparent variation in TSH with age or sex and only 4 children had TSH levels greater than 5 muU/ml. High TSH values were obtained in 9 children with primary hypothyroidism, in 3 children with thyroiditis, and in one girl with a lingual t...
متن کاملA Study of Thyroid Function in Partial Thyroxine-Binding Globulin Deficiency
Objective: It is generally thought that thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG)-deficient individuals are euthyroid and do not require treatment. However, there have been case reports of TBG deficiency combined with hypothyroidism. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between TBG deficiency and thyroid function. Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 32 patients diagnosed...
متن کاملHypothyroidism in Pregnancy
Changes in thyroid function tests occur during pregnancy as a result of physiologic altera‐ tions in several factors controlling thyroid homeostasis. Urinary iodine excretion increases along with the increase in thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) concentrations. Human cho‐ rionic gonadotrophin (hCG) having structural homology with thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), stimulates thyroid cells. Thus,...
