To determine the prevalence of elevated serum concentrations of thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the influence of the associated cirrhosis, TBG was measured in 39 patients with HCC, 22 with and 17 without cirrhosis, in 20 patients with cryptogenic
To determine the factors underlying the apparent reduction in binding ability of thyroxine-binding globulin in hepatocellular carcinoma, hormonebinding characteristics were further examined in patients with this disease and in control subjects. No differences in affinity constants with respect to tr
Free T4 calculation was performed based on the equation of the law of mass action between T4 and TBG assessed by routine radioimmunoassay. To examine the validity of this calculation, sera from normal subjects, from hypo- and hyperthyroid patients, from subjects with hereditary deficiency or increas
Ninety-nine cases of thyroxine binding globulin (TBG) deficiency (90 males and 9 females) were identified among low-T4 infants after newborn hypothyroid screening. The data indicate that inherited TBG deficiency occurs in at least 1:5,000 newborns (1:2,800 males) and that mild and more pronounced fo
