BIOCHEMICAL TESTING OF THYROID FUNCTION

Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 1997
Various published guidelines recommending serum thyrotropin (TSH)-first thyroid testing are outlined. The entities called "subclinical hypothyroidism" and "subclinical hyperthyroidism" are defined on the basis of abnormal TSH concentrations and normal values of other biochemical thyroid tests.

Thyroid physiology and thyroid function testing

Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2003
The 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.

In vitro tests of thyroid function

Seminars in Nuclear Medicine, 1971
The 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 ...

Thyroid function testing in Greyhounds

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 2001
Abstract 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, 1983
Modern 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, 1985
In 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 ...

Interpretation of thyroid function tests

The Lancet, 2001
The introduction of sensitive thyrotropin assays and free thyroid hormone measurements has simplified the interpretation of thyroid function tests. However, important pitfalls and difficult cases still exist. In this review, thyroid function test results are grouped into six different patterns.

Thyroid function tests and their interpretation

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1997
For 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 ...

Interpretation of thyroid function tests

Disease-a-Month, 1989
The 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.
