Comparison of the Resin Uptake of I¹³¹ Labeled Triiodothyronine and Thyroxine in Hyperthyroidism and Other Conditions²

Indianapolis, Indiana

ABSTRACT

The resin uptake of L-triiodothyronine-I¹³¹ (T₃-RU) and L-thyroxine-I¹³¹ (T₄-RU) were performed on 18 normal subjects and 22 patients with thyroid disease and non-thyroidal illness. In hyperthyroid subjects, the (T₄-RU) data are much higher than the T₃-RU data with marked improvement in the separation from normal. The T₄-RU is felt to be superior to the T₃-RU in the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism; its relative value in other conditions has yet to be established.
