Article Synopsis
- Thyrotoxicosis is a common condition in endocrine practice, primarily caused by Graves' disease and subacute thyroiditis; differentiating between the two is crucial for proper treatment.
- The study evaluates TSH receptor antibodies (TSHrAb) as a diagnostic tool for distinguishing these conditions in the Indian population, especially since conventional tests like 99mTc thyroid scintigraphy are often unavailable in smaller cities.
- Results show that TSHrAb has a high diagnostic accuracy (AUC: 0.9) compared to other methods, making it a reliable option for distinguishing Graves' disease from subacute thyroiditis.
