Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin: An Overview, Main Clinical Uses, and its Impact on Patient Care

Thursday, March 27, at 15:00 GMT / 16:00 CET / 11:00 EDT / 08:00 PDT

In this presentation, we will offer a clinical overview of the Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin (TSI) assay. We will discuss unique aspects of this analyte, differences from other thyroid markers, and focus on its clinical importance and how TSI measurements offered by laboratories are critical in optimizing the care and patient outcomes in thyroid diseases.

This presentation is a unique opportunity for laboratory professionals to gain an in-depth look at the importance of their work providing accurate TSI results to clinicians, learning directly from the perspective of a leading endocrinologist at the Cleveland Clinic.

Key learning objectives

By the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:

  • Differentiate TSI from other thyroid biomarkers reported by the laboratory
  • List multiple thyroid disorders where TSI measurement is warranted
  • Discuss how TSI results impact patient care, enabling more efficient communication with clinicians in their institutions

Who should attend

  • Clinicians
  • Laboratorians
  • Specialists
  • HCPs
