The diagnosis and management of subclinical hypothyroidism is assay‐dependent– Implications for clinical practice

Objective We assessed the commutativity of Roche and Abbott thyroid assays in the diagnosis and management of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). The Roche and Abbott thyroid assays are used by approximately 75% of clinical laboratories in the UK. Method Consecutive samples received from primary care...

Zusammenfassung:Objective We assessed the commutativity of Roche and Abbott thyroid assays in the diagnosis and management of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH). The Roche and Abbott thyroid assays are used by approximately 75% of clinical laboratories in the UK. Method Consecutive samples received from primary care on patients with SCH who had a raised thyroid‐stimulating hormone (TSH)
