THYROID-FUNCTION TESTS IN THE ELDERLY
The Lancet, 1972Abstract Serum protein-bound iodine (P.B.I.) and triiodothyronine (T 3 ) uptake measurements were performed as the initial tests of thyroid function on 490 patients admitted to a geriatric department. Up to 20 % of the euthyroid patients had reduced thyroxine-binding-globulin (T.B.G.) levels. Interpretation of these tests is difficult since P.B.I. and

Thyroid physiology and thyroid function testing
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2003The art and science of medicine has changed so much in the last 40 years, not only in the manner that physicians treat medical diseases but also in how they diagnose them. Technological advances have made it possible to have a test for almost anything.

Thyroid function testing in Greyhounds
American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2001Abstract Objective—To evaluate thyroid function in healthy Greyhounds, compared with healthy non-Greyhound pet dogs, and to establish appropriate reference range values for Greyhounds. Animals—98 clinically normal Greyhounds and 19 clinically normal non-Greyhounds.

Thyroid Function Tests in Thyroid and Nonthyroid Disease
CRC Critical Reviews in Clinical Laboratory Sciences, 1983Modern day evaluation of thyroid disorders requires a combination of accurate clinical judgement and reliable, sensitive, and specific thyroid functions tests. Principle among the latter are thyroxine (T4) 3, 5, 3'-triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).

A NEW STRATEGY FOR THYROID FUNCTION TESTING
The Lancet, 1985In view of the increasing number of in-vitro tests of thyroid function, rationalization of the biochemical assessment of patients with suspected thyroid disease was attempted. In addition to clinical examination of 285 consecutive new referrals to a thyroid clinic, measurements were made of serum total and free triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4 ...

In vitro tests of thyroid function
Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 1971The principal in vitro tests of thyroid function currently available have been described and assessed as to their clinical usefulness. Three groups have been considered: those which measure thyroid hormone concentration (PBI, BEI, T 4 by column, T 4 and T 3 by competitive protein binding), those which measure the extent of thyroid hormone-plasma ...

Interpretation of thyroid function tests
Disease-a-Month, 1989The development of radioimmunoassays over the past 20 years has expanded our knowledge of thyroid physiology and improved our management of thyroid disease. The use of these tools in neonatal screening for congenital hypothyroidism alone has reduced the incidence of mental retardation in the industrialized world.

Thyroid function tests and their interpretation
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1997For general screening of children who are in fairly good health and in whom CNS or pituitary disease is not strongly suspected, the newer THS assays are very useful in assessing the action of both endogenous and exogenous thyroid hormone. Those children in whom primary hypothyroidism is strongly suspected or who are already on thyroid hormone ...

Maternal Thyroid Function: Interpretation of Thyroid Function Tests in Pregnancy
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1997Thyroid status is frequently assessed during pregnancy, both to evaluate suspected thyroid abnormalities, and to monitor the status, of pre-existing thyroid disease. However, the production, circulation, and disposal of thyroid hormone are all altered in pregnancy.

Postgraduate Medicine, 1993
Thyroid function tests are often used to diagnose thyroid disease. Free thyroxine estimates and second- and third-generation assays for serum thyrotropin have simplified and enhanced the accuracy of thyroid function testing. All thyroid function tests have limitations and cannot be used in isolation of the clinical setting. Used appropriately, however,
