The great majority of patients with thyrotoxicosis can be readily diagnosed by use of a careful medical history, physical examination, basal metabolic rate and serum cholesterol determination, and follow-up of the course of the disease in response to a trial of therapy. In a small group of diagnostic problem cases of thyrotoxicosis, however, other new helpful tests of thyroid function, such as the serum protein-bound iodine, PBI, and the radioactive iodine, I131, uptake test will save time for both patient and physician.
