METHOD OF DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS OF THYROID MALIGNANT NEOPLASMS AND NODULE NONTOXIC GOITER

摘要

FIELD: medicine, oncology, endocrinology. SUBSTANCE: method involves analysis of iron-binding proteins: transferrin and ferritin of patient blood serum. Ratio coefficient of ferritin to transferrin is calculated and malignant neoplasm of thyroid is diagnosed at this value 80-150 conventional units. Nodule nontoxic goiter is diagnosed at coefficient value 4-60 conventional units. EFFECT: improved method of differential diagnosis.
