Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the changes of free triiodothyronine(FT
3) and free thyroxin(FT
4) in high lipid serum pretreated by polyethylene glycol(PEG).
Methods: The specimen were divided into two groups:one was directly tested,the other was pretreated by PEG.FT
3 and FT
4 of the normal and high lipid serum were measured by radio immunoassay.
Results: Compared with that directly tested in the normal group,the level of FT
3 and FT
4 had no statistic difference compared to the pretreated by PEG(
P>0.05).The results of high lipid serum pretreated by PEG were markedly decreased compared to the directly tested(
P<0.001).
Conclusions: As the high lipid and thyroid hormone auto antibody is eliminated by PEG,the accuracy is improved.
