74795-6
LaboratoryTotal thyroxine binding capacity in Serum or Plasma
Definition
T-uptake in T uptake units. T uptake units bear a rough INVERSE relationship to the other T uptake (See AxSym package insert: http://www.promtest.am/tests/thyroid-diagn/T-Uptake.pdf), but actually measures a different phenomenon (total binding capacity instead of unbound hormone).
