ABSTRACT

Objective:

To study the value of measurement of serum TRAb levels in diagnosis and treatment of patients with thyroid disease.

Methods:

The levels of serum TRAb(by RRA),FT 3?FT 4 and titrations of TGAb,TPOAb(by RIA) were measured in 308 patients with thyroid disease as well as in 50 normal people.

Results:

The average levels and positive rates of serum TRAb were significantly higher in patients with Graves' disease (including hypertyroid group and remission group) and Hashimoto's disease than those in normal group,and the hypertyroid group were significant higher than the remission group in level and positive rate of TRAb.There were no correlations between serum TRAb levels and FT3,FT4 levels in patients with Graves' disease,and titrations of TGAb,TPOAb in patients with Hashimoto's disease.

Conclusion:

Serum TRAb level can not reflect the severity of Graves' disease,and TRAb is another auto-antibody different from TGAb,TPOAb,but there is important value in determing the serum TRAb level in diagnosis and treatment of auto-immune thyoid disease,especially to Graves' disease.
