Role of Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone Stimulation Test and Autoantibody in 952 Subjects with Subclinical Hypothyroidism
Two-thirds of SCH showed exaggerated TRH stimulation test. Positive TPOAb or TgAb showed high specificity (> 90%) for positive TRH stimulation test but basal serum TSH levels showed low predictability. The TRH stimulation test may be a valuable guide to identify SCH patients with hypothyroid state.
