Abstract
Serum free thyroxine concentrations, measured by the Immo Phase kit, and free thyroxine index values were compared in 200 subjects classified according to age, sex, and clinical diagnosis. The free thyroxine concentration was as good as the free thyroxine index in hyperthyroid, hypothyroid, elderly, and acutely ill patients and a better diagnostic index of thyroid status in pregnancy and in oral contraception.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
