Commercial kits of thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin and M22-thyroid-stimulating hormone binding inhibition assay were used and compared. Thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin was all negative in healthy controls, Hashimoto thyroiditis, and subacute thyroiditis. Thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin value was highest in untreated patients with Graves\u2019 disease ( p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Under anti-thyroid drugs treatment, thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin value decreased gradually. A total of 21 patients had positive thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin at the end of treatment. According to clinical fate of patients with Graves\u2019 disease after withdrawal of anti-thyroid drugs, thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin value and positivity in patients with relapse were significantly higher than that reported in patients with remission ( p\u2009=\u20090.001, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). After adjustment for age, gender, initial thyroid receptor antibody, initial thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin, and thyroid receptor antibody at the end of treatment, the odds ratio of positive thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin for the risk of relapse was 33.271 (95% confidence interval: 4.741\u2013233.458, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and odds ratio of quantitative thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin was 1.009 (95% confidence interval: 1.002\u20131.015, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin is a good predictor of relapse in patients with Graves\u2019 disease treated with anti-thyroid drugs.
