    Summary

    This study compared two methods for measuring serum thyroxin (total T4) in healthy individuals and thyroid patients. Both methods showed similar results, but paste StaT4 offered practical advantages for clinical use.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Clinical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Thyroid gland diseases require accurate monitoring of thyroid hormone levels.
    • Serum thyroxin (total T4) is a key indicator of thyroid function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the paste StaT4 assay with the modified Murphy and Pattee method for determining serum total thyroxin.
    • To evaluate the clinical applicability of both methods in assessing thyroid status.

    Main Methods:

    • Serum total thyroxin was measured in 18 healthy subjects and 42 patients with thyroid diseases.
    • Two assay methods were employed: paste StaT4 and a modified Murphy and Pattee procedure.

    Main Results:

    • Both methods yielded similar thyroxin values.
    • Thyroxin levels correlated well with the clinical status of the subjects.
    • The paste StaT4 method demonstrated advantages in clinical practice.

    Conclusions:

    • The paste StaT4 assay is a reliable and practical method for measuring serum total thyroxin.
    • This assay is suitable for routine clinical use in evaluating thyroid disorders.
