Description

Familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by the presence of a variant serum albumin with preferential affinity for thyroxine (T4) in clinically euthyroid individuals. Individuals have consistently elevated total T4 and elevated or normal free T4 values with normal TSH levels. The condition may be confused with hyperthyroidism or thyroid hormone resistance syndromes, prompting repeated unnecessary laboratory testing and possibly even inappropriate treatment (summary by Heufelder et al., 1995).
