We have investigated the clinical utility of two direct radioimmunoassays for free thyroxin, an enzyme-inhibition immunoassay, and a direct measurement of thyroxin-binding globulin (TBG) by radioassay. All assay methods correctly identified greater than or equal to 90% of euthyroid, hyperthyroid, and hypothyroid patients who had normal TBG concentrations. In patients with altered TBG concentrations, none of the assays correctly classified all categories of patients. However, the direct assays of free thyroxin concentrations were able to classify correctly more patients with altered TBG concentrations than did the free thyroxin index methods. The free thyroxin index methods evaluated may be acceptable for routine use, if the concentration of thyroxin and the measurement of TBG capacity are reported along with the index value. Patients with altered TBG concentrations included a group of euthyroid pregnant patients. Significant decreases in free thyroxin in the third trimester were detected by all the assays studied. For patients in the first and second trimester, the mean free thyroxin concentration measured varied with the assay method.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006980 Hyperthyroidism Hypersecretion of THYROID HORMONES from the THYROID GLAND. Elevated levels of thyroid hormones increase BASAL METABOLIC RATE. Hyperthyroid,Primary Hyperthyroidism,Hyperthyroidism, Primary,Hyperthyroids
D007037 Hypothyroidism A syndrome that results from abnormally low secretion of THYROID HORMONES from the THYROID GLAND, leading to a decrease in BASAL METABOLIC RATE. In its most severe form, there is accumulation of MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES in the SKIN and EDEMA, known as MYXEDEMA. It may be primary or secondary due to other pituitary disease, or hypothalamic dysfunction.

D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation.
