METHOD FOR DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTICS OF DIFFERENT AUTOIMMUNE THYROID LESIONS

摘要

FIELD: medicine, endocrinology.;SUBSTANCE: in a patient's blood serum it is necessary to detect the content of interleukin-6 (IL-6) due to immunoenzymatic assay, the content of 2-macroglobulin (MG) due to immunoelectrophoresis and thyrotropic hormone (TTH) due to immunoenzymatic assay, calculate the index of antibody-formation (IAb) according to the following formula: IAb=IL6/MG×TTH. At IAb value being above 7 in a patient under testing one should diagnose autoimmune thyroiditis, and at IAb being below 3 one should diagnose diffuse toxic goiter.;EFFECT: higher efficiency and accuracy of diagnostics.;3 ex
