2. Thyroid function tests - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_function_tests

   003444. [ edit on Wikidata] 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 ...

3. 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.

4. Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood...

   v. t. e. Reference ranges (reference intervals) for blood tests are sets of values used by a health professional to interpret a set of medical test results from blood samples. Reference ranges for blood tests are studied within the field of clinical chemistry (also known as "clinical biochemistry", "chemical pathology" or "pure blood chemistry ...

5. Thyroid hormones - Wikipedia

   T 3 and T 4 are partially composed of iodine, derived from food. [2] A deficiency of iodine leads to decreased production of T 3 and T 4, enlarges the thyroid tissue and will cause the disease known as simple goitre. [3] The major form of thyroid hormone in the blood is thyroxine (T 4), whose half-life of around one week [4] is longer than that ...

6. Thyroid disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_disease

   Thyroid disease is a medical condition that affects the function of the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is located at the front of the neck and produces thyroid hormones [ 1] that travel through the blood to help regulate many other organs, meaning that it is an endocrine organ. These hormones normally act in the body to regulate energy use ...

7. Thyroxine-binding globulin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroxine-binding_globulin

   Thyroxine-binding globulin ( TBG) is a globulin protein that in humans is encoded by the SERPINA7 gene. TBG binds thyroid hormones in circulation. It is one of three transport proteins (along with transthyretin and serum albumin) responsible for carrying the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T 4) and triiodothyronine (T 3) in the bloodstream.

8. Thyroid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid

   Thyroid function tests include a battery of blood tests, including the measurement of the thyroid hormones, as well as the measurement of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). [84] They may reveal hyperthyroidism (high T 3 and T 4), hypothyroidism (low T 3, T 4), or subclinical hyperthyroidism (normal T 3 and T 4 with a low TSH). [84]

9. Hashimoto's thyroiditis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashimoto's_thyroiditis

   Typically, T4 is the preferred thyroid hormone test for hypothyroidism. [56] This exposure of the body to substantial amounts of previously isolated thyroid enzymes is thought to contribute to the exacerbation of tolerance breakdown, giving rise to the more pronounced symptoms seen later in the disease.
