Abstract
A comparative study of 3 analytical methods (immunoradiometric assay, enzym e immunometric assay, and chemiluminescent immunometric assay) for canine s erum thyrotropin (TSH) was performed. Ninety-six dogs were included in the study. The within- and between-run precision was evaluated for each method, and correlations for the results obtained with each method were examined. The best within- and between-run precision was obtained with the chemilumin escent immunometric assay. Satisfactory correlations for the 3 analytical p rocedures were obtained but varied in relation to serum TSH concentration.
