It uses a finger prick rather than a standard blood draw from your vein to evaluate thyroid function. Blood spot testing kits have also been developed so that you can monitor your TSH level from home. Proponents of this test believe that it ensures greater accuracy without requiring as much o...
[Variation of the thyrotropin-releasing-hormone (TRH) stimulated thyrotropin (TSH) response in comparison with the tyhroid-gland-suppression test and the triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) blood levels in the so-called euthyroid en... 21 patients with active signs of euthyroid Graves' disea...
