Report of the IFCC Working Group for Standardization of Thyroid Function Tests, Part 1: Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone

TL;DR: Harmonization of TSH measurements would be particularly beneficial for 3 of the 16 examined assays, demonstrating that harmonization may be accomplished by establishing calibration traceability to the overall mean values for a panel of patient samples.
Report of the IFCC Working Group for Standardization of Thyroid Function Tests; Part 3: Total Thyroxine and Total Triiodothyronine
Linda M. Thienpont,Katleen Van Uytfanghe,G H Beastall,James D. Faix,Tamio Ieiri,W. Greg Miller,Jerald C. Nelson,Catherine Ronin,H. Alec Ross,Jos H.H. Thijssen,Brigitte Toussaint +10 more
TL;DR: The study showed that most assays performed well, but some would benefit from improved precision, within-run stability, and between-run consistency.

Production of antibodies specifically binding triiodothyronine and thyroxine.
TL;DR: Antisera produced by immunization against human thyroglobulin (HTg) possessed 2 distinct sets of binding sites, one which was more specific for T3 than T4 and one vice versa.
82
Underestimates of serum free thyroxine (T4) concentrations by free T4 immunoassays.
TL;DR: A serum PBT4 dependent bias causes discordant FT4 measurements and probably explains the observed underestimates of FT4 in nonthyroidal illness.

Thyroid function in very low birth weight infants
R. Z. Klein,E. L. Carlton,James D. Faix,Judith E Frank,R J Hermos,Dorothy M. Mullaney,Jerald C. Nelson,D. A. Rojas,Marvin L. Mitchell +8 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that low circulating thyroxine concentrations characteristic of very low birth weight neonates are the result of decreased protein binding of thyroid hormones and to elucidate the mechanism(s) responsible and possible significance thereof.
