What´s measured
Why undergo a Thyroid Function Test?
The thyroid gland, an endocrine organ, synthesises the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Dysfunctions of this gland can present as local changes in the neck area (goiter), but more prominently as systemic metabolic manifestations due to inadequate or excessive hormone production. Thyroid activity is regulated by hormones secreted by the pituitary gland, including thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
Symptoms of thyroid disorders are indicative of either inadequate or excessive hormone production. These symptoms encompass fatigue, hair loss, changes in weight, heart palpitations, tremors in the limbs, swelling, hot flashes or chills, and dry skin, among others [1].
