Clinical application and mechanization of a simple and inexpensive method for estimating T₃ uptake in serum

PMCID: PMC477246 PMID: 5017444

Abstract

This very inexpensive method of estimating T₃ uptake, already described (Walther, 1971), uses only 0·1 ml of patient's serum and discriminates between thyrotoxicosis and myxoedema much better than the resin sponge method. It can readily be mechanized and the `free thyroxine index' derived has normal limits of 3·0 to 8·0.
