Usefulness of TSH receptor antibodies as biomarkers for Graves ’ ophthalmopathy: a systematic review

ConclusionWe conclude that the level of TBII may not be a reliable indicator of the current state of GO in pre-treated patients. Whereas, in post-treated patients, due to changes in the correlation between TBII and TSAb due to the effect of hyperthyroidism treatment, the level of TBII can be a more reliable indicator of GO. Furthermore, the current level of TBII is closely associated with the onset and severity of GO in the future and it can be a valid predictor of GO. However, the TSAb level appears to be more reliable.
