Analytical interference in the direct dialysis free T4 and TSH assays could result from benign conditions such as abnormal T4 binding
proteins (eg, familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia), autoantibodies to T4 or TSH, or exposure to mouse monoclonal antibodies
resulting in production of human anti-mouse antibodies (HAMA). Adapted from references 1 and 2.
