Our body contains several important endocrine glands that help regulate its metabolism and other functions that are required for us to function properly. The thyroid gland is one of such principal...
The thyroid is a crucial gland in the neck. It produces thyroid hormones responsible for maintaining essential metabolic functions such as producing energy, producing warmth, and maintaining functions of vital organs such as the heart, liver, and kidney.
Blood tests for thyroid hormone levels provide the information necessary to keep the levels within the normal range and decide on appropriate individualized therapy for a patient according to his specific condition. If the patient is diagnosed with low thyroid levels (hypothyroidism), a TSH test is opted once a year to check that levels are within the normal range. If the levels are higher (hyperthyroidism), TSH and T4 (FT4) levels will be assessed, and the frequency of testing will depend on the selected treatment.
The thyroid antibody test is a test that is used to measure antibodies produced in the body against the thyroid gland. This test is specifically for autoimmune diseases of the thyroid. Another test is radioactive iodine uptake, which measures whether your thyroid gland is absorbing Iodine (the precursor to the formation of thyroid hormone) or not. This test is beneficial in the case of hyperthyroidism.
