A TRH stimulation test is where you give the patient 200 micrograms of TRH
(protirelin) intravenously, and measure FT4 at 0 mins, also TSH at 0 mins,
20mins and 60mins. As long as you can measure these two analytes, you should
be okay.

Dear Colleagues
We have a doctor who wishes to do TRH stimulation test. Roche and Abbott
apparently stops manufacturing it. Therefore, I would very much like to
know if there is another manufacturer. Thanks.
