Heterophile antibodies may falsely increase or decrease thyroglobulin measurement in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma.
BACKGROUND To examine the prevalence of significant interference from heterophile antibodies (HAb) in the measurement of serum thyroglobulin (Tg), we evaluated a large cohort of samples from patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). METHODS Serum Tg measurements were performed in 406 serum samples before and after incubation of each serum sample in heterophile-blocking tubes (HBT)...
متن کاملHow to manage patients with undetectable thyroglobulin but thyroid residue after radioiodine ablative therapy in differentiated thyroid carcinoma, retreatment or observation?
Introduction:Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) follow-up after thyroidectomy and radioiodine-ablation is performed mainly by thyroglobulin (Tg), diagnostic iodine-131 whole body scan (DxWBS) and sonography. Some patients with undetectable Tg have thyroid-bed uptake after ablation in whom decision making regarding the need for retreatment is still controversial. Me...
متن کاملAntithyroglobulin antibodies in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma: methods of detection, interference with serum thyroglobulin measurement and clinical significance.
Antithyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb) were measured using a chemiluminescent immunoassay (ICMA) and an agglutination test. TgAb laboratory and clinical interference with Tg measurements were assessed. The course of TgAb concentration and disease status were compared during 3 years after initial treatment. The agglutination test failed to detect all titers < 10 IU/mL (ICMA). Interference from TgAb...
متن کاملImportance of measurement of thyroglobulin and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies in differentiated thyroid cancer.
Differentiated thyroid cancers include papillary and follicular carcinomas, both originating from follicular epithelium. Treatment of choice is usually total or near total thyroidectomy, followed by ablative radioiodine 131I treatment, and by the long-term administration of thyroid hormone. Despite its excellent prognosis, recurrent disease does occur in approximately 20-40% of patients. Guidel...
متن کاملThyroglobulin value in patients surgically treated for differentiated thyroid carcinoma
Gostimir MIKAČ Faculty of Medicine Save Mrkalja 22 78000 Banja Luka Republic of Srpska Bosnia and Herzegovina [email protected] SUMMARY Introduction Thyroglobulin is composed glycoprotein, and it is synthesized by follicular cells of the thyroid gland. Treatment of differentiated thyroid carcinomas involves total thyroidectomy followed by radioiodine ablation of a potential remaining tissue. The m...
