Use of basal and TRH‐stimulated plasma growth hormone concentrations to differentiate between primary hypothyroidism and nonthyroidal illness in dogs

Abstract: BackgroundA low plasma total thyroxine (TT4) concentration in combination with a plasma TSH concentration within reference range does not distinguish between hypothyroidism and nonthyroidal illness (NTI) in dogs. Hypothyroidism is associated with TSH‐releasing hormone (TRH)‐induced increased release of growth hormone (GH).HypothesisBasal and TRH‐induced plasma GH concentrations can be used to distinguish hypothyroid dogs from NTI dogs.AnimalsTwenty‐one dogs with signs consistent with hypothyroidism, a low plas… Show more

“…Diagnosing endocrinopathies often relies on stimulation and suppression tests. Both TSH stimulation tests (using recombinant human TSH [rhTSH]) and TRH stimulation tests have been used to confirm hypothyroidism (Sauvé and Paradis 2000, Pijnacker and others 2018). TSH stimulation tests are used to show lack of stimulation of TT4 in hypothyroid dogs and, recently, the TRH stimulation test has been suggested to be reliable by assessing TSH and growth hormone (GH) stimulation.…”

“…Neben der eben erwähnten, falsch hohen Messung können auch TgAA-induzierte falsch tiefe Werte vorkommen 26 . Ein wichtigerer Faktor ist jedoch die Tatsache, dass die tT4-Konzentration nicht nur durch die intrinsische thyreoidale Funktion, sondern auch durch viele verschiedene andere Faktoren beeinflusst wird, da zirkulierendes Thyroxin zu großen Teilen an Trägerproteine gebunden ist 1 . Neben physiologischen Faktoren wie Alter oder Rasse führen v. a. eine NTI sowie Medikamente zu einer reduzierten tT4-Konzentration in euthyreoten Hunden ( Tab.…”

“…Damit erreichen die direkten Methoden eine geringere diagnostische Spezifität (ca. 80%) als die Dialyse-Verfahren 1 , 11 , 13 . Trotzdem ist diese Spezifität höher als die von tT4 (< 70%).…”
