Objetivos

Comparar los resultados de tiroglobulina obtenidos ante estimulación con tirotropina recombinante humana (rhTSH) con fines diagnósticos y tras privación hormonal previa a la terapia con 131I.

Pacientes y método

Se evaluó a 31 pacientes en seguimiento por cáncer diferenciado de tiroides (CDT) a los que se indicó dosis terapéutica de 131I. Fueron sometidos de forma consecutiva a ambos protocolos de estimulación, y el tratamiento con radioyodo distó 1-2 meses del procedimiento diagnóstico con rhTSH. Se realizaron determinaciones analíticas de TSH, tiroglobulina (Tg) y anticuerpos anti-Tg por métodos inmunométricos.

Resultados

Las medianas de Tg obtenidas tras rhTSH y privación fueron de 1,10 y 1,80ng/ml, respectivamente. Analizados como positivos o negativos, dichos valores mostraron un índice kappa de concordancia de 0,633. Los casos discordantes mostraron una mayor elevación de Tg en estímulo con rhTSH (3 casos) y sólo en 1 caso se obtuvo un resultado negativo con estimulación con rhTSH que luego se positivizó en la dosis ablativa.

Conclusiones

El estímulo con rhTSH consigue elevaciones diagnósticas de TSH en todos los casos aplicados. Los valores de Tg obtenidos con ambos estímulos muestran un grado de concordancia elevado.

Objectives

To compare the results of thyroglobulin (Tg) determination after diagnostic recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone (rhTSH) stimulation and after hormone withdrawal prior to 131I therapy.

Patients and method

Thirty-one patients followed-up for differentiated thyroid cancer were evaluated. In all patients 131I therapy was indicated. All patients underwent both stimulation methods, with an interval of 1-2 months between diagnostic rhTSH administration and radioiodine therapy. Laboratory determinations of TSH, Tg and Tg antibodies were carried out by immunometric methods.

Results

Median Tg values obtained after rhTSH stimulation and hormone withdrawal were 1.10 and 1.80ng/ml, respectively. Considered as positive or negative, these values showed a kappa value of 0.633. Discordant cases showed greater elevation after rhTSH stimulation (3 patients). Only one patient showed a negative result after rhTSH stimulation, which was then positive after the ablative dose.

Conclusions

Stimulus with rhTSH achieved diagnostic elevations of TSH in all patients. Tg levels after both stimulation methods showed a high degree of agreement.
