RESUMO

Iodine and resin sponge uptake tests have been performed upon 124 consecutive patients referred for thyroid studies. Neither test alone could correctly identify all cases of thyrotoxicosis or myxoedema, but when considered in combination diagnostic efficiency was much improved. This combination of tests is shown to be especially useful in the investigation of patients with changes in body iodine pools or thyroxine-binding globulin levels.
