Disease | T3 uptakea | Antithyroglobulin antibody | Antimicrosomal antibody |
---|---|---|---|
Primary biliary cirrhosis (n = 35) | 0.90 ± 0.06 | 4 (11)b | 10 (29) |
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (n = 16) | 0.94 ± 0.10 | 1 (6) | 1 (6) |
Postnecrotic cirrhosis (n = 41) | 1.37 ± 0.08c | 9 (22) | 9 (22) |
Mean value ± S.E.; normal values 0.8–1.2.
Number in parentheses = % of total group who were positive for antibody.
p < 0.01 compared to both primary biliary cirrhosis or primary sclerosing cholangitis groups.
