2. Much of the active T3 is derived from the conversion of T4 into the peripheral tissues. 3. Because more than 99% of T4 is bound to TBG, ultimately only a tiny fraction of less than 1% of free T4 is effectively the one that provides T3 for the organs and tissues of the body to...
Tsai:Our primary care colleagues can do a workup and interpretation of thyroid function tests in most cases. In the situations where the thyroid function test results are discordant (ie, elevated TSH and elevated free T4 levels or low TSH and low free T4 levels) or difficult to interpret, i...
It is always important, however, to consider the clinical setting in which the test was performed to correctly interpret these tests. For initial discovery and identification of thyroid disease, serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free T4, and/or free T3 are measured. Often serum TSH alone...
TSH with Reflex to Free T4 - This test may be useful in assessing thyroid dysfunction when pituitary disease is not suspected. In patients with clinical suspicion of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, testing thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is the init
The TSH test usually isn’t the only one used to diagnose thyroid disorders. Other tests, including the free T3, the free T4, the reverse T3, and the anti-TPO antibody, are also used often when trying to decide whether you need thyroid treatment. ...

The aim of this study was to determine the biological variations of TSH, free T3, and free T4 and to calculate their RCV values in serum of healthy individuals in our population. Materials and Methods: The study group included 46 healthy volunteer subjects (mean age 33.5 ± 9 years). ...
Free thyroxin (FT4) concentrations, total thyroxin/thyroxin-binding globulin (T4/TBG) ratios, and thyrotropin (TSH) and albumin concentrations were measured in serum in a longitudinal study in each of the three trimesters of 25 normal pr... R Ball,DB Freedman,JC Holmes,... - 《Clinical Ch...
高TSH血症是指新生儿血TSH增高,而游离甲状腺素(free thyroxine,FT4 )水平维持在正常范围的生理状态。但目前仍没有用于诊断早产儿高TSH血症的确切值,应根据不同胎龄及出生日龄来确定诊断的确切值。Kaluarachchi等[14,15]研究了早产儿到...
