Abstract:
:Thyroxine binding protein characteristics were defined in 6 normal subjects, 4 with thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) deficiency, 3 with TBG increase, one with hyperthyroxinemic dysalbuminemia, 7 with severe non-thyroidal illness, and 3 with chronic renal failure. Free thyroxine was measured by Sephadex partition in plasma to which increasing thyroxine concentrations were added. Deconvolution of the resultant titration data was performed by computer modelling. Abnormalities of thyroxine binding capacities or of binding affinities occur in non-thyroidal illness, chronic renal failure, and sporadically. The patient with hyperthyroxinemic dysalbuminemia had increased thyroxine binding affinity to thyroxine binding prealbumin as well as to albumin. "Free-T4 assays" or estimates of Free-T4 by calculation from total thyroxine and measures of protein binding such as T3-uptake must be expected to be perturbed by these binding protein abnormalities unless such interferences are explicitly demonstrated to be absent.
