DUAN Dong, et al. The value of determination of serum TRAb levels in diagnosis and treatment of patients with thyroid disease[J]. Journal of Chongqing Medical University, 2004,(3):342-344. DOI: 10.13406/j.cnki.cyxb.2004.03.028.
Objective:To study the value of measurement of serum TRAb levels in diagnosis and treatment of patients with thyroid disease.Methods:The levels of serum TRAb(by RRA)
FT 3?FT 4 and titrations of TGAb
TPOAb(by RIA) were measured in 308 patients with thyroid disease as well as in 50 normal people.Results:The average levels and positive rates of serum TRAb were significantly higher in patients with Graves’ disease (including hypertyroid group and remission group) and Hashimoto’s disease than those in normal group
and the hypertyroid group were significant higher than the remission group in level and positive rate of TRAb.There were no correlations between serum TRAb levels and FT3
FT4 levels in patients with Graves’ disease
and titrations of TGAb
TPOAb in patients with Hashimoto’s disease.Conclusion:Serum TRAb level can not reflect the severity of Graves’ disease
and TRAb is another auto-antibody different from TGAb
TPOAb
but there is important value in determing the serum TRAb level in diagnosis and treatment of auto-immune thyoid disease
