Article Synopsis
- Graves' disease (GD) is linked to autoantibodies that target the TSH receptor, and this study aimed to assess a new automated immunoassay (Elecsys Anti-TSHR) for detecting these antibodies.
- The test showed acceptable levels of precision with a functional sensitivity of 0.73 IU/L and strong correlation with existing TRAb immunoassays, indicating its effectiveness.
- The new automated assay demonstrated high sensitivity (97%) and specificity (99%) for diagnosing GD, marking a significant improvement in thyroid testing practices.
Objectives: To study the combined effect of polymorphisms in genes of the renin-angiotensin system on mortality in type 2 diabetic patients in dialysis.
Design And Methods: From 1993 to 2007, we followed 89 patients from the start of dialysis until the end point, which was all-cause mortality. All patients were genotyped for the following polymorphisms: ACE (I/D), AGT (p.
