Abstract：
:Clinicians experience difficulty in correctly interpreting the results of in vitro thyroid function tests in the presence of abnormalities of thyrobinding proteins or when results are borderline. This difficulty has been largely resolved in our laboratory by three innovations. First, the borderline areas for each of three routine tests of thyroid function (total thyroxine, thyrobinding index, and free thyroxine index) were accurately determined. Second, the results from this routine profile of three tests were displayed pictorially so as to produce patterns characteristic of various diagnostic situations, including euthyroidism in the presence of abnormalities of thyrobinding proteins. Third, interpretive comments and, in the case of borderline patterns, suggested further testing procedures were added to the report. Clinicians find the reporting system helpful and respond when additional tests are suggested. The system, operated manually at first, was later computerized.
