2. Thyroid function tests - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_function_tests

   Thyroid function tests ( TFTs) is a collective term for blood tests used to check the function of the thyroid. [ 1] TFTs may be requested if a patient is thought to suffer from hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), or to monitor the effectiveness of either thyroid-suppression or hormone replacement ...

3. Thyrotroph Thyroid Hormone Sensitivity Index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyrotroph_Thyroid_Hormone...

   100-150. Test of. Sensitivity of TSH-producing pituitary cells to thyroid hormones; also a marker for the set point of thyroid homeostasis. The Thyrotroph Thyroid Hormone Sensitivity Index (abbreviated TTSI, also referred to as Thyrotroph T4 Resistance Index or TT4RI) is a calculated structure parameter of thyroid homeostasis.

4. Thyroid hormones - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_hormones

   Further information: Thyroid function tests. Triiodothyronine (T 3) and thyroxine (T 4) can be measured as free T 3 and free T 4, which are indicators of their activities in the body. [73] They can also be measured as total T 3 and total T 4, which depend on the amount that is bound to thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG). [73]

5. Thyroid hormone binding ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_hormone_binding_ratio

   Thyroid hormone binding ratio (THBR) is a thyroid function test that measures the "uptake" of T3 or T4 tracer by thyroid-binding globulin (TBG) in a given serum sample. This provides an indirect and reciprocal estimate of the available binding sites on TBG within the sample. The results are then reported as a ratio to normal serum.

6. Thyroid disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_disease

   Initial blood tests often include thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (T4). [9] Total and free triiodothyronine (T3) levels are less commonly used. [9] If autoimmune disease of the thyroid is suspected, blood tests looking for Anti-thyroid autoantibodies can also be obtained. Procedures such as ultrasound, biopsy and a ...

7. Thyroid's secretory capacity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid's_secretory_capacity

   Thyroid's secretory capacity ( GT, also referred to as thyroid's incretory capacity, maximum thyroid hormone output, T4 output or, if calculated from serum levels of thyrotropin and thyroxine, as SPINA-GT[ a]) is the maximum stimulated amount of thyroxine that the thyroid can produce in a given time-unit (e.g. one second). [ 2][ 3]

8. Thyroid-stimulating hormone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid-stimulating_hormone

   Thyroid-stimulating hormone (also known as thyrotropin, thyrotropic hormone, or abbreviated TSH) is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine (T 4 ), and then triiodothyronine (T 3) which stimulates the metabolism of almost every tissue in the body. [ 1] It is a glycoprotein hormone produced by thyrotrope cells ...

9. Hashimoto's thyroiditis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashimoto's_thyroiditis

   Hashimoto's thyroiditis, also known as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis and Hashimoto's disease, is an autoimmune disease in which the thyroid gland is gradually destroyed. [ 1][ 6] A slightly broader term is autoimmune thyroiditis, identical other than that it is also used to describe a similar condition without a goiter. [ 7][ 8] Early on ...
