Abstract:
The case presented is a 12 year-old girl with hyperthyroidism due to juvenile Grave's disease, who during the course of treatment developed hypothyroidism due to TSH-receptor blocking antibodies, measured by bioassay. The bioassay used was performed on CHO-R cells measuring c-AMP. The role of radioreceptor assays and bioassays in measuring TSH receptor antibodies in hyper- and hypothyroid Graves' disease in discussed.
