[The guidelines for the diagnosis and monitoring of endocrine diseases(except of diabetes mellitus)]
Abstract
The 6th draft for the guidelines for the diagnosis of thyroid disease has been published from the working group of Japan Endocrine Society in 2002. However, there are still controversial about guidelines for diagnosis of Graves disease. Serum-based tests for measuring the concentration of the TRAb and TSAb are available. We should use these tests rather than measuring of radioisotope uptake recommended in the 6th draft.
