Biological variation of thyroid stimulating hormone, free triiodothyronine and free thyroxine in healthy subjects in Turkey
Our study provides updated BV data for thyroid function tests (TFTs) in healthy subjects in Turkey. As TFTs have shown a high degree of individuality, RCV should be preferred rather than population-based reference ranges in the assessment of serum concentrations. Our BV estimates were compatible with European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM) BV meta-analysis data obtained using different immunoassay methods in different populations.
