We have measured the triiodothyronine binding capacity of thyroxine binding globulin in blood for the total of 201 cases with a thyopac-3 test. One hundred twenty five cases of them are normal persons, 65 cases are suffering from hyperthyroidism and 11 cases from hypothyroidism. This result indicates that a normal range of thyopac-3 lest in Japan is 95-115. On hyperthyroidism: The present test results correlated quite well with those from 131I-triiodothyronine resin-sponge uptake tests as well as with those from PBI tests. On hypothyroidism: The measurements from this method are more accurate than those from 131I-triiodothyronine resin-sponge uptake test with a very distinct separation marked from those of normal persons. We experienced several cases in which the indications of PBI tests indicated normal values even with known cases of hypothyroidism. In addition to the accuracy in measurements, our new method has the following characteristics: No special temperature control is needed during the entire operation; no strict time control is needed, nor the washing.
