    Diagnosing thyroid dysfunction involves specific blood tests. Serum T3, T4, and free T4 (iFT4) confirm hyperthyroidism, while TSH aids in differentiating hypothyroidism types.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Clinical Biochemistry

    Context:

    • Thyroid disorders are common and require accurate diagnostic methods.
    • Clinical suspicion of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism necessitates laboratory confirmation.

    Purpose:

    • To outline the essential laboratory tests for diagnosing thyroid dysfunction.
    • To differentiate between primary and secondary hypothyroidism.
    • To guide the appropriate use of further investigations.

    Summary:

    • Confirms hyperthyroidism using serum triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), and free T4 (iFT4).
    • TRH stimulation tests can resolve discrepancies in T3/T4 values.
    • Diagnoses hypothyroidism with T3, T4, iFT4, and TSH, aiding in primary vs. secondary differentiation.
    • Investigates binding protein abnormalities if T3/T4 parallelism is absent.

  • Recommends in vivo tests like radio-iodine uptake and scintigraphy based on clinical findings, not routine use.

    • Impact:

    • Provides a clear diagnostic algorithm for thyroid function testing.
    • Enhances the accuracy of diagnosing thyroid disorders.
    • Optimizes the use of diagnostic resources by avoiding unnecessary tests.
