Thyroid Testing
Because thyroid-related symptoms can have many possible causes, proper evaluation and testing are important. Thyroid function may be assessed with blood tests that measure thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), Free T4, Free T3, and thyroid antibodies when appropriate.
Your symptoms, medical history, physical examination, and laboratory results can be evaluated together to determine whether additional testing or treatment may be appropriate.
