The thyroid gland is one of the most important organs of the human endocrine system. Under the influence of TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) the gland produces thyroid hormones: T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine)
Thyroid hormones have a significant impact on the human body. In particular: on basic metabolism, oxygen consumption, energy balance, heat production.
At the initial stage it is possible to determine the functional state of the thyroid gland Thyroid (Thyroid) Hormone Profile I - Thyroid Screening Through which includes two main parameters:
A combined study of free thyroxine (FT4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) gives a more complete picture of the thyroid gland in patients who have altered thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) levels (pregnancy, intake of androgens, estrogens, etc.).
When assessing the functional state of the thyroid gland, When thyroid damage is suspected, it is important to know that functional thyroid disorders or diseases at an early stage are not always manifested clinically, therefore, it is recommended for timely diagnostics. - Periodic screening of the thyroid gland.
The study is recommended in patients with symptoms of increased or decreased thyroid function. The test is also prescribed for people with an enlarged gland (so-called "goiter") or "nodules".
Signs of increased thyroid function:
Signs of decreased thyroid function:
TSH and FT4 tests are prescribed after treatment or surgery for thyroid disease. At the beginning of treatment, the test should be performed once a month, once the exact maintenance dose is determined - once every 2-6 months.
Required for analysis Venous blood.
The test should be taken on empty stomach , In the morning (until about 10 o'clock). Drinking coffee and smoking before testing will seriously affect the results. It is allowed to drink 250 ml of water before testing.
If the test reveals abnormalities, it may be necessary to use additional, other methods of diagnostics. for that You should definitely consult a specialist, which, taking into account the symptoms, will correctly select the appropriate examinations to make an accurate diagnostics.
If TSH is above normal, it is likely that FT4 will be in the normal range or if it is below normal - then you have hypothyroidism. Conversely - TSH is lower than normal and FT4 is at or above the norm - this is typical for glandular hyperfunction.
