Indirect Basal Metabolism Estimation in Tailoring Recombinant Human TSH Administration in Patients Affected by Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: A Hypothesis-Generating Study

Indirect Basal Metabolism Estimation in Tailoring Recombinant Human TSH Administration in Patients Affected by Differentiated Thyroid Cancer: A Hypothesis-Generating Study

PurposeRecombinant human TSH (rhTSH) is currently used in follow-up of patients affected by differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Age, sex, weight, body mass index, body surface area (BSA) and renal function are known factors affecting serum TSH peak levels, but the proper rhTSH dose to deliver to si...
