  2. Thyroid function tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_function_tests

    The total T4 is less accurate due to the large amount of T4 that is bound. The total T3 is measured in clinical practice since the T3 has decreased amount that is bound as compared to T4. [citation needed] Reference ranges depend on the method of analysis. Results should always be interpreted using the range from the laboratory that performed ...

  3. Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood...

    Reference ranges (reference intervals) for blood tests are sets of values used by a health professional to interpret a set of medical test results from blood samples. Reference ranges for blood tests are studied within the field of clinical chemistry (also known as "clinical biochemistry", "chemical pathology" or "pure blood chemistry"), the ...

    TSH values may also be lower than normal (particularly in the first trimester) and the normal range should be adjusted for the stage of pregnancy. [ 8 ] [ 44 ] In pregnancy, subclinical hypothyroidism is defined as a TSH between 2.5 and 10 mIU/L with a normal thyroxine level, while those with TSH above 10 mIU/L are considered to be overtly ...

  5. Thyroid hormone binding ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_hormone_binding_ratio

    Thyroid hormone binding ratio (THBR) is a thyroid function test that measures the "uptake" of T3 or T4 tracer by thyroid-binding globulin (TBG) in a given serum sample. This provides an indirect and reciprocal estimate of the available binding sites on TBG within the sample. The results are then reported as a ratio to normal serum.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthyroid_sick_syndrome

    Affected patients may have normal, low, or slightly elevated TSH depending on the spectrum and phase of illness. Total T4 and T3 levels may be altered by binding protein abnormalities, and medications. Reverse T3 levels are generally increased, while FT3 is decreased. FT4 levels may have a transient increase, before becoming subnormal during ...

  7. Reference range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_range

    The standard definition of a reference range for a particular measurement is defined as the interval between which 95% of values of a reference population fall into, in such a way that 2.5% of the time a value will be less than the lower limit of this interval, and 2.5% of the time it will be larger than the upper limit of this interval, whatever the distribution of these values.

  9. Thyroid disease - Wikipedia

    These normal hormonal changes often make pregnancy look like a hyperthyroid state but may be within the normal range for pregnancy, so it necessary to use trimester specific ranges for TSH and free T4. [23] [24] True hyperthyroidism in pregnancy is most often caused by an autoimmune mechanism from Graves' Disease. [23]
