Abstract:
The concentration of TSH receptor autoantibodies (TRAB) was determined by a Radioreceptor assay kit (RRA) in human serum of normal subjects and Basedow’s patients before and after treatment with antihydroid druf (ATD). The results were as following: Mean TRAB level in Basedow’s patients is higher than that in normal subjects (323.75+/-171.27u/l vs. 1.36+/-0.57u/l). There was not significant difference in the concentration between men and women in both groups. After treatment, the TRAB level was decreased to 10.63+/-11.16u/l.
