Thyroid Test:
Thyroid tests are diagnostic evaluations used to assess the function of the thyroid gland, which plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, growth, and energy levels. These tests help healthcare providers diagnose thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and thyroid nodules. Common thyroid tests include:
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Test: Measures the level of TSH, which is produced by the pituitary gland to stimulate the thyroid gland. Elevated TSH levels indicate hypothyroidism, while low levels may indicate hyperthyroidism.
Free Thyroxine (FT4) Test: Measures the level of free thyroxine, the active form of thyroid hormone circulating in the blood. Low FT4 levels indicate hypothyroidism, while high levels may indicate hyperthyroidism.
Total Thyroxine (TT4) Test: Measures the total amount of thyroxine in the blood, including both bound and unbound forms. It is less commonly used than the FT4 test.
Free Triiodothyronine (FT3) Test: Measures the level of free triiodothyronine, the active form of thyroid hormone. It is often used to evaluate hyperthyroidism.
Thyroid Antibody Tests: These include tests for thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibodies (TgAb), which are markers of autoimmune thyroid disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease.
Thyroid Ultrasound: Uses sound waves to create images of the thyroid gland, helping to evaluate thyroid nodules, enlargement (goiter), and other abnormalities.
Thyroid Scan: Involves the use of radioactive iodine or technetium to create images of the thyroid gland, useful for evaluating nodules and thyroid function.
Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) Biopsy: Involves using a thin needle to remove a small sample of tissue from a thyroid nodule for examination under a microscope, to determine if the nodule is benign or cancerous.
