trh vs acth


LJ Friedman
 

my horse tested positive via the TRH test but showed fine with the AC TH. Does that mean that even though he’s been on pergolide for a few years that I need to continually use the TRH test if he’s showing fine with the AC TH?

LJ,

It might mean that. Think about it. If  ACTH was normal before pergolide, why would it go up when on it?

The question we are trying to answer is whether it is possible for TRH stimulation to return to normal on pergolide. Long term data is especially important so you should consider entering the study. Your case history is out of date. Is he still on 1.5 mg? Do you have all his ACTH tests? We will pay $300 towards performance of repeat TRH test.

also, where is this money coming from? If it’s coming from the group I’ll pay for my own without asking for the rebate. If it’s coming from some manufacturer that’s giving money to you then I’ll take it. Thoughts?

And what am I about my question on the vet experience with doing TRH tests? Does it matter?--

If we do not wish to accept the money for TRH study, but rather have it stay in the ECIR pot, is there a "best way" to do so?
