[Diagnosis and control of therapy of thyroid disorders by TRH-test (author's transl)]
Abstract
TSH-measurement before and after stimulation with TRH proved to be of good value in the diagnosis of thyroid dysfunctions, better than other parameters including J-131-test. During treatment of hypothyroid disorder TRH-test, often repeatable, allows estimation of T4 substitution dosis. In Graves disease therapy, furthermore, should be judged by in-vitro or clinical parameters.
