Guideline for in vivo- and in vitro procedures for thyroid diseases (version 2)

Abstract: SummaryThe version 2 of the guideline for diagnostic standards of thyroid disorders is an update of the guideline published in 1999 and describes standards of in vitro and in vivo procedures. The following statements are modified: In vitro procedures: When measurement of the TSH-receptor antibodies is indicated, the guideline recommends the use of a second generation assay (recombinant human TSH-receptor as antigen). The functional assay sensitivity for the measurement of thyroglobulin should reach a value ≤1 … Show more

“…As thyroglobulin autoantibodies (TgAbs) are more prevalent in thyroid cancer patients than in the general population (1) and may interfere with Tg determinations, even at low serum levels detected only by sensitive assays (2), the interaction of TgAb with Tg could result in inadequate further diagnostics and treatment of residual or relapsing DTC (3). However, there is no general consensus as to whether the measurement of TgAbs is meaningful for the evaluation of possible interference with Tg measurement, or whether TgAb measurement complements the Tg recovery test (2,(4)(5)(6).…”

“…Consequently, no further immediate measures apart from the initiation of combined iodine/L-thyroxine-therapy were taken. 2 However, as some tracer uptake in the jugular region at the lower margin of the scintigram was noted (A; arrow), an additional zoomed-out view of the mediastinum was acquired, revealing a large area of tracer uptake in the mediastinum (B; arrows).…”

“…Nicht nur zur endg ü ltigen Sicherung, sondern auch zur Diff erenzierung von Hyperthyreosen anderer Genese, und weil dies therapeutische Implikationen (Planung der Radioiodtheapie bzw. der Schilddr ü senoperation) hat, wird die TRAK-Bestimmung bei Verdacht auf eine Autoimmunhyperthyreose regelhaft durchgef ü hrt [20,21] . Aber auch zur Pr ä diktion der Erfolgsrate einer thyreostatischen Therapie sind die TRAK, wenn auch nur eingeschr ä nkt, geeignet und sollten deshalb vor Beginn einer Therapie bestimmt werden [22] .…”

“…Andererseits beeinfl ussen in j ü ngeren Kommentaren die l ä nderspezifi sch sehr unterschiedlichen Kosten der TRAK-Messung (Japan: bis zu 35 $ , USA: bis zu 100 $ , BR Deutschland: < 30 $ ) die subjektive Einsch ä tzung des pr ä diktiven Wertes der TRAK ma ß geblich [15,63] . Trotzdem kann die TRAK-Bestimmung unter pr ä diktivem Aspekt (nicht zuletzt gerade aus Kostengr ü nden) guten Gewissens empfohlen werden, vor allem wenn der Patient den defi nitiven Therapien zun ä chst abwartend gegen ü bersteht [15,20,73] Eine erneute TRAK-Bestimmung sollte im dritten Trimenon erfolgen. Wenn die TRAK dann deutlich erh ö ht sind, w ä re der F ö tus auf Hyperthyreosezeichen zu untersuchen, im Einzelfall auch mittels Nabelschnurblutanalyse [46] .…”
