Evaluation of endocrine complications in beta-thalassemia intermedia (β-TI): a cross-sectional multicenter study.

abstract：PURPOSE:The aims of this study were to assess the role of an in-house competitive thyroglobulin assay (Tg-c) in the follow-up of metastatic differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) patients who presented underestimated Tg measurements by immunometric assays (Tg-IMA) and to compare the results with IMA and LC-MS/MS Tg met...
