Thia, B., McGuinness, M.B., Ebeling, P.R. et al. Diagnostic accuracy of Immulite® TSI immunoassay for thyroid-associated orbitopathy in patients with recently diagnosed Graves’ hyperthyroidism. Int Ophthalmol (2021). https://doi.org/10.1007/s10792-021-02052-0 (this opens in a new tab)
Precise measures represent a must in modern medicine. The authors of the present manuscript offer an interesting description on diagnostic accuracy of an immunoassay used for thyroid-associated orbitopathy in patients with recently diagnosed Graves’ hyperthyroidism. I believe this may offer the chance for the readers to open an interesting discussion on the importance of a rigorous measurement of biomarkers.
