The usefulness of the various tests of thyroid function has been evaluated over a three-year period. It is concluded that an uptake test and estimation of the serum protein-bound radioactive iodine (PB (131)I), supplemented as required by the protein-bound iodine (PBI), remain the best routine tests of thyroid function. Forty-five patients who gave discordant results on these tests over this period have been studied in detail and the value of other tests of thyroid function has been explored.
在三年时间里对各种甲状腺功能测试的效用进行了评估。得出的结论是，甲状腺摄取试验以及血清蛋白结合放射性碘（PB（131）I）的测定，并根据需要辅以蛋白结合碘（PBI）测定，仍然是甲状腺功能最佳的常规测试。对这期间在这些测试中结果不一致的45名患者进行了详细研究，并探讨了其他甲状腺功能测试的价值。
