Abstract：
:A new, highly sensitive immunoradiometric thyrotropin (TSH) assay involving solid-phase-coupled monoclonal antibodies (Boots-Celltech Sucrosep IRMA-TSH) has been evaluated in a wide variety of patients with thyroidal and nonthyroidal illnesses and the results compared with those obtained by conventional diagnostic TSH RIAs. The sensitivity of the present assay ranged from 0.036 to 0.1 milli-int. unit/L (mean 0.056). TSH, measurable in serum of each of 128 euthyroid patients, ranged from 0.1 to 6.3 milli-int. units/L (mean 1.7, SD 1.1). Similar concentrations were found in 15 healthy pregnant women. TSH was undetectable in 27 hyperthyroid patients, of whom six were tested with thyroliberin stimulation and failed to respond. The mean TSH concentration measured in 62 seriously ill hospital patients of 2.7 (SD 2.5) milli-int. units/L was significantly higher (p less than 0.05) than in the euthyroid patients. Basal values and peak TSH responses to thyroliberin testing correlated well (r = 0.63, n = 48), irrespective of clinical diagnosis. We conclude that the present assay readily discriminates between euthyroid and hyperthyroid patients and should replace conventional TSH RIAs in diagnostic laboratories.
