What are the seven thyroid function tests

Thyroid Function Test 7 is a common thyroid function test, including Thyrotropin, Triiodothyronine, Thyroxine, Free Triiodothyronine, Free Thyroxine, Antithyroglobulin Antibody, Antithyroid Peroxidase Antibody. 1. Thyrotropin: It is a sensitive indicator of thyroid function. Elevation is seen in hypothyroidism, while decrease is seen in hyperthyroidism and subclinical hyperthyroidism. 2. Triiodothyronine: used to evaluate thyroid function. Elevation is seen in hyperthyroidism, subacute thyroiditis, etc. Decrease is seen in hypothyroidism, autoimmune thyroiditis. 3. Thyroxine: produced by the thyroid gland. It is elevated in hyperthyroidism and pregnancy, and lowered in hypothyroidism and cirrhosis. 4. Free triiodothyronine: a hormone synthesized and secreted by follicular cells of the thyroid gland, elevated in hyperthyroidism and lowered in hypothyroidism. 5. Free thyroxine: it is a sensitive indicator of thyroid function in vitro test, elevated in hyperthyroidism, Graves’ disease, etc.; lowered in hypothyroidism. 6. Antithyroglobulin antibody: a common indicator for the diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid disease. 7. Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody: a common indicator for diagnosing chronic autoimmune diseases. Positive antibodies can be found in patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, postpartum thyroiditis, atrophic thyroid, and partial nodular goiter.
