Abstract
BACKGROUND: Sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) is important for the transport and regulation of distribution of sex steroids. METHODS: The performance of the Architect SHBG automated immunoassay in comparison to radioimmunoassay was evaluated using 62 patient specimens. Furthermore, specimen from 100 healthy individuals were used to establish a preliminary reference interval for this automated assay. RESULTS: The assay has demonstrated overall good analytical performance and was significantly correlated with the reference method. CONCLUSIONS: The Architect SHBG assay is a good method for routine measurement of SHBG circulating levels.
