title: [Basal and TRH stimulated TSH secretion and determination of total thyroxine (T4). Thyroxine-binding capacity and free thyroxine index (FT4-I) in patients with chronic uremia].
abstract: In 11 patients with chronic uremia both the basal and TRH stimulated TSH levels and T4, TBC and FT4-I were determined. The investigations were repeated in 2 cases after renal transplantation. TSH and T4 in serum were determined by RIA, TBC by radio reagent assay. FT4-I was calculated. In 8 patients the basal TSH levels were in the normo- and in 3 in the hypothyreotropic range. In 9 patients the response to TRH was adequate. There were deviations from the physiological range in 7 patients for T4 and in 6 for FT4-I.
