title: [Comparison of thyrotropin (TSH), thyroxine (TT4) and triiodothyronine (TT3) concentration in capillary and venous blood serum in children and adolescents].
abstract: The thyrotropin, thyroxine and triiodothyronine concentration was compared in sera from capillary and venous blood (n = 50) using a luminescence-enhanced enzyme immuno assay. The results showed a good correlation (TSH, r = 0.991, TT4, r = 0.988, TT3, r = 0.975) and a linear relationship. It is concluded that serum of capillary blood can be used for the in vitro diagnosis of thyroid function.
