  • Title: [Value of separation on ion exchange resins of plasma iodine fractions. Comparison with Werner's suppression test].
    Author: Fragu P, Gardet P, Parmentier C, Bazin JP, Askiénazy S, Tubiana M.
    Journal: Pathol Biol (Paris); 1975 Jan; 23(1):51-6. PubMed ID: 53805.
    Abstract:
    This was a study of 71 patients suspected of hyperthyroidism who had undergone a tri-iodothyronine suppression test. A study of circulating protein-bound iodine after separation on ion-exchange resins had been carried out before triiodothyronine administration, on the same patients. The results showed that the radioactive hormonal fraction has a better diagnostic value than radioactive serum protein-bound iodine. In 60% of cases, a study of the radioactive hormonal fraction could have permitted to avoid the use of the suppression test.
