Evaluation of serum free thyroxine and thyrotropin concentrations in the diagnosis of canine hypothyroidism

Evaluation of serum free thyroxine and thyrotropin concentrations in the diagnosis of canine hypothyroidism

Canine thyroid‐stimulating hormone (cTSH), total thyroxine (T4) and free T4 by equilibrium dialysis (fT4d) were measured in serum samples from 107 dogs with clinical signs suggestive of hypothyroidism in which the diagnosis was either confirmed (n=30) or excluded (n=77) by exogenous TSH response tes...

Zusammenfassung:Canine thyroid‐stimulating hormone (cTSH), total thyroxine (T4) and free T4 by equilibrium dialysis (fT4d) were measured in serum samples from 107 dogs with clinical signs suggestive of hypothyroidism in which the diagnosis was either confirmed (n=30) or excluded (n=77) by exogenous TSH response testing. Median serum total T4 and fT4d concentrations were significantly lower and cTSH significantly higher (P
