... thyroxine (fT4), and thyroglobulin. Variations in continuous thyroid markers were assessed as coefficient of variation (CV) defined as mean of the individual CVs with bootstrapped confidence intervals and as intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). Variations in dichotomous thyroid markers were assessed...

... postoperative US and RxWBS ruled out persistent neck disease after total thyroidectomy. Chemiluminescent assays were used for the measurement of Tg (Access Thyroglobulin Assay, Beckman Coulter, Fullerton, CA, USA [functional sensitivity (FS) in our laboratory of 0.1 ng/ml]) and TgAb (Immulite 2000...

...Mathieu Spaas; Brigitte Decallonne; Annouschka Laenen; Jaak Billen; Sandra Nuyts Objective: The prognostic value of stimulated thyroglobulin (sTg) and Tg-related parameters prior to and immediately after radioactive iodine (RAI) administration was assessed in a cohort of patients presenting...

...Eftychia Koukkou; Ioannis Ilias; Irene Mamalis; Georgios G. Adonakis; Kostas B. Markou Objective: To assess the reliability of thyroglobulin (Tg) as a marker of iodine status during pregnancy. Design: 299 women aged 30.5 ± 4.8 years (mean ± SD) were studied. Methods: In every subject, we measured...

... with low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma treated with total thyroidectomy (TT) who did not undergo radioiodine remnant ablation (RRA). Study Design: We prospectively followed up 57 patients; 3 months after TT, thyroglobulin (Tg) assessment and neck ultrasonography (US) were performed while patients were...

...: Guidelines for the follow-up of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) recommend the measurement of TSH-stimulated thyroglobulin (s-Tg) instead of basal Tg on T 4 therapy (b-Tg). However, these guidelines were established using first-generation Tg assays with a functional sensitivity (FS) of 0.5-1.0 ng/ml...

.... Neck ultrasonography Recurrence risk stratification Fine-needle aspiration biopsy Lymph nodes Thyroglobulin Laser therapy Ethanol injection The risk-adapted approach to the treatment of thyroid cancer requires an appropriate staging and risk assessment of the disease. The European...

... compared to the first trimester in both groups, with no change in TSH, and rose postpartum, though lower than the first trimester. FT3 levels and the total T4 (TT4)/thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) ratio followed the same evolution as FT4. TT4 levels rose due to TBG increase. Thyroglobulin (Tg) of iodine...

...Sylvie Hiéronimus; Patricia Ferrari; Jocelyn Gal; Frédéric Berthier; Stéphane Azoulay; André Bongain; Patrick Fénichel; Françoise Brucker-Davis Objective: To assess the impact on cord blood (CB) thyroglobulin (Tg) of early iodine supplementation during pregnancy. Methods: A total of 111 healthy...
