Popis: The aim of the present study is 1) to compare our established manual thyroglobulin (Tg) and Tg autoantibody (TgAb) immunoassays to the automated KRYPTOR® platform from the same manufacturer, in a large group of DTC patients and 2) to evaluate whether a change in assay methods could be made without disrupting the serial monitoring pattern. Sera from 160 patients with histologically proven DTC were obtained and Tg and TgAb measured by manual immunoassays and a fully automated platform. We found an excellent agreement between the 2 methods for Tg measurement (R=0.9888, p
