Often serum TSH alone is used to screen for thyroid disease; while this is usually adequate, it may miss some rare diagnoses. Other tests such as for thyroid antibodies can be used to assist diagnosis of specific conditions. Different iodine nutritional states can affect thyroid function tests. ...
This short review is intended to simplify the interpretation of thyroid function tests (TFTs) in general practice. The relationship between thyroid hormones and the use of TFTs, as well as thyroid antibodies, is discussed. An overview of the management of common thyroid disorders is included. ...
The role of autoimmunity and thyroid function on pregnancy outcomes in euthyroid women with autoimmune disease undergoing assisted reproduction Thyroid dysfunction and the presence of thyroid antibodies increase the risk of infertility and miscarriage. The aim of the present study was to assess if ......
Non-treponemal tests, like RPR and VDRL, detect antibodies to cellular components released during tissue damage caused by syphilis. As a result, they are less specific, and can be elevated due to other conditions, including autoimmune diseases or acute febrile illnesses. These tests are reported ...
Examples include activating KIT mutations (typically D816V) that are present in virtually all adults (93%) with indolent and aggressive forms of systemic mastocytosis82, 83, 84; a BRAF mutation (typically V600E) that is used as a diagnostic and prognostic marker for papillary thyroid carcinoma...
Knowledge of variation in thyroid function is important for interpretation of thyroid function tests. We aimed to describe intra-individual variation in th... Jesper Karmisholt, Stig Andersen, Peter Laurberg - 《Thyroid Official Journal of the American Thyroid Association》 被引量: 155发表: 2008年...
Blood is composed of a variety of living cells that circulate through the heart, arteries, and veins carrying nourishment, hormones, vitamins, antibodies, heat, and oxygen to the body’s tissues. Blood contains three main components: red blood cells (RBC), White Blood Cells (WBC), and platel...
We used a new automated immunochemiluminometric assay (ICMA) with Tg recovery (TgR) on the Nichols Advantage (R) platform to reassess the clinical utility of recovery testing in detecting interference in serum Tg measurement in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Methods: We used 2 ...
thyroid function testsFT4TSHTPO-antibodiesThyroid hormones are crucial for normal pregnancy and fetal development. Large physiological changes occur during pregnancy, posing challenges for the correct interpretation of thyroid function tests. TSH concentrations are the principal first test to rule out ...
When the changes of goiter interpretation were compared, a statistically significant difference was determined in the whole group (p=0.029); however, there was no significant difference in children who were both euthyroid and found to have negative thyroid auto-antibodies (p=0.375)...
