Study on the concentration of blood TRAb in the healthy people and patients with basedow before and after treatment with the I-131

ABSTRACT

TRAb concentration in the blood of healthy adults and Basedow patients before and after I-131 treatment was measured by RIA (Radioimmunoassay) method. The results were as follow RIA method for measuring TRAb was standardized. TRAb concentration in the blood of healthy adults was in the very low level (undetectable). TRAb concentrations in the Basedow patients before I-131 treatment were 426.98+/-206.21 mU/ml and by many times higher than that of healthy adults. After I-131 treatment TRAb concentrations in the 5/12 Basedow patients could not be measured (undetectable) and in 7/12 patients were 127.67+/-59.21 mU/ml.
