Abstract
Background and Objectives: Recent guidelines from the Korean Thyroid Association have proposed a threshold of 6.8 mIU/L for diagnosing subclinical hypothyroidism based on local research findings. However, due to the lack of standardization/harmonization, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) testing yields varying results across different reagent manufacturers. Hence, the use of uniform reference intervals is challenging. We aimed to establish assay-specific Korean reference interval for TSH. Materials and Methods: We performed duplicate measurements on 100 serum samples with varying TSH concentrations (0-23 mIU/L) using eight different TSH reagents including Alinity I TSH (Abbott), Access TSH (Beckman Coulter), Elecsys TSH (Roche), TSH3UL (Siemens), TSH IRMA (Beckman Coulter), TSH1 RIA (Brahms), TSH IRMA TUBE II (Riakey), Turbo TSH IRMA (Izotop). Correlation and simple linear regression analyses were conducted among 8 reagents with Roche as the reference. Results: The correlation coefficient for each reagent was notably high at 0.99. Through regression analysis, TSH values equivalent to the 6.8 mIU/L (Roche) were determined for each reagent as follows: Abbott 5.2 mIU/L, Beckman 6.5 mIU/L, Siemens 6.9 mIU/L, Beckman-Radioimmunoassay 7.4 mIU/L, Brahms 5.7 mIU/L, Riakey 5.3 mIU/L, Izo...
