TSH returns to normal with therapy Call the lab and ask them to check the
assay.

Thyroid Hormone Binding Proteins
Thyroid hormones are highly lipophilic
Majority (>99%) circulate bound to proteins with hydrophobic “pockets”
Rapid changes in hormone concentrations are not possible (long half-life)
Beware altered binding proteins as a cause for “abnormal” thyroid function
Thyroid binding globulin (TBG) ~70%
Transthyretin (TTR) ~10% Albumin ~15 - 20% Lipoproteins ~2 - 5%
