title: [Can free T3 determination be affected by the presence of type 1 diabetes mellitus?].
abstract: Overall frequency of thyroid disease is increased in diabetic patients, especially in insulin-dependent diabetes. Free T3-assays are thus ordered more often in these populations. Attention has been drawn to the role of non-esterified fatty acids in the different techniques used to assay free T3. The aim of this work was to evaluate the clinical revelance in a population of uncontrolled insulin-dependent diabetes. The results demonstrated that elevated non-esterified fatty acid levels observed in type 1 diabetes in modifications of free T3 assays, don't modified the different technics of free T3.
