    Thyroid tests using radiochemical methods showed good correlation between protein-bound iodine (PBI) and thyroxine (T4) values. However, triiodothyronine (T3) test accuracy was found to be unsatisfactory in this comparative study.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Endocrinology

    Background:

    • Thyroid hormone levels are crucial indicators of thyroid function.
    • Accurate measurement of thyroid hormones like thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) is essential for diagnosing thyroid disorders.
    • Protein-bound iodine (PBI) has been a traditional method for assessing thyroid hormone levels.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the accuracy and precision of commercially available radiochemical T4 and T3 tests with protein-bound iodine (PBI) values.
    • To evaluate the analytical performance of different thyroid testing methodologies.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized ion exchange and column chromatographic separation for thyroid testing.
    • Performed two radiochemical T4 tests and three radiochemical T3 tests.

  • Compared results with protein-bound iodine (PBI) values from the same serum samples.
  • Assessed the analytical precision of each tested method.

    • Main Results:

    • A strong positive correlation was observed between protein-bound iodine (PBI) and thyroxine (T4) test results.
    • The accuracy of the tested triiodothyronine (T3) assays was determined to be unsatisfactory.
    • Analytical precision varied among the different thyroid testing methods evaluated.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiochemical T4 testing demonstrates good correlation with traditional PBI measurements.
    • Current commercial T3 radiochemical assays may require further refinement for improved diagnostic accuracy.
    • Methodological comparisons are vital for ensuring reliable thyroid function testing.
