2. Thyroid function tests - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_function_tests

   Thyroid function tests (TFTs) is a collective term for blood tests used to check the function of the thyroid. [1] TFTs may be requested if a patient is thought to suffer from hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), or to monitor the effectiveness of either thyroid-suppression or hormone replacement therapy.

3. Hypothyroidism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothyroidism

   Yearly thyroid function tests are recommended in people with Down syndrome, as they are at higher risk of thyroid disease. [62] Guidelines for England and Wales from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommend testing for thyroid disease in people with type 1 diabetes and new-onset atrial fibrillation, and suggests ...

4. Thyroid disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_disease

   Thyroid disease is a medical condition that affects the function of the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is located at the front of the neck and produces thyroid hormones [ 1] that travel through the blood to help regulate many other organs, meaning that it is an endocrine organ. These hormones normally act in the body to regulate energy use ...

5. Thyroid-stimulating hormone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid-stimulating_hormone

   TSH (with a half-life of about an hour) stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete the hormone thyroxine (T 4), which has only a slight effect on metabolism. T 4 is converted to triiodothyronine (T 3), which is the active hormone that stimulates metabolism. About 80% of this conversion is in the liver and other organs, and 20% in the thyroid ...

6. Hyperthyroidism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthyroidism

   Hyperthyroidism is the condition that occurs due to excessive production of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. [ 3] Thyrotoxicosis is the condition that occurs due to excessive thyroid hormone of any cause and therefore includes hyperthyroidism. [ 3] Some, however, use the terms interchangeably. [ 5]

7. Jostel's TSH index - Wikipedia

   1.3–4.1. MeSH. D013960. Jostel's TSH index ( TSHI or JTI ), also referred to as Jostel's thyrotropin index or Thyroid Function index ( TFI ), is a method for estimating the thyrotropic (i.e. thyroid stimulating) function of the anterior pituitary lobe in a quantitative way. [ 1][ 2] The equation has been derived from the logarithmic standard ...

8. Hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamic–pituitary...

   The hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis ( HPT axis for short, a.k.a. thyroid homeostasis or thyrotropic feedback control) is part of the neuroendocrine system responsible for the regulation of metabolism and also responds to stress. As its name suggests, it depends upon the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and the thyroid gland .

9. Thyroid - Wikipedia

   Thyroid function tests will help reveal whether the nodule produces excess thyroid hormones. A radioactive iodine uptake test can help reveal the activity and location of the cancer and metastases. [67] [69] Thyroid cancers are treated by removing the whole or part of thyroid gland. Radioactive Iodine-131 may be given to radioablate the thyroid.
