Uneven thyroid density is an imaging description that suggests the possibility of thyroid pathology, and the patient will also need to undergo a thyroid function test.
Uneven thyroid density suggests that the patient may have thyroid pathology, such as thyroiditis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and other disorders. Therefore, in addition to checking the thyroid ultrasound, patients also need to check the thyroid function, such as thyrotropin (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4), free triiodothyronine (FT3) and other indicators.
If the patient’s thyroid density is uneven, thyroid function suggests lower TSH and higher FT4, TT4, consider having hyperthyroidism, if necessary, can take methimazole and other drugs to treat it; if TSH is increased and FT4, TT4 is decreased, consider having hypothyroidism, can be treated with oral levothyroxine sodium.
Patients with uneven thyroid density need to go to regular hospitals in time for further diagnosis and treatment under the guidance and advice of specialists.
