Effects of statin use on serum creatinine phosphokinase levels in normal thyroid function
Jeonghoon Ha, Joonyub Lee, Jin Yu, Hakyoung Park, Jiwon Shinn, Seung-Hwan Lee, Jae-Hyoung Cho, Hun-Sung Kim
Korean J Intern Med. 2024;39(4):650-658. Published online June 24, 2024
Background/Aims: Statins are common lipid-lowering agents used in dyslipidemia. However, they increase serum creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) levels. Currently, there are no studies on the effect of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels on CPK levels after statin administration. Therefore, this stu..

Mijin Kim, Tae Yong Kim, Soo Han Kim, Yunkyoung Lee, Su-yeon Park, Hyung-Don Kim, Hyemi Kwon, Yun Mi Choi, Eun Kyung Jang, Min Ji Jeon, Won Gu Kim, Young Kee Shong, Won Bae Kim
Korean J Intern Med. 2015;30(3):335-344. Published online April 29, 2015
Background/Aims: The diagnostic accuracy of thyroid dysfunctions is primarily affected by the validity of the reference interval for serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Thus, the present study aimed to establish a reference interval for TSH using a normal Korean population.
Methods: This study..

Diagnostic Value of a Chimeric TSH Receptor (Mc4)-Based Bioassay for Graves' Disease
Ji In Lee, Hye Won Jang, Soo Kyoung Kim, Joon Young Choi, Ji Young Kim, Kyu Yeon Hur, Jae Hyeon Kim, Yong-Ki Min, Jae Hoon Chung, Sun Wook Kim
Korean J Intern Med. 2011;26(2):179-186. Published online June 1, 2011
Background/AimsGraves' disease (GD) is caused by thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) and thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI). We used a recently introduced, technically enhanced TSI bioassay to assess its diagnostic value and determine the cut-off in patients in h..
