2. Jostel's TSH index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jostel's_TSH_index

   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.

3. 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.

4. TRH stimulation test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRH_stimulation_test

   The TRH test involves administration of a small amount of TRH intravenously, [1] following which levels of TSH will be measured at several subsequent time points using samples of blood taken from a peripheral vein.

5. Thyroid disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_disease

   TSH levels are determined by a classic negative feedback system in which high levels of T3 and T4 suppress the production of TSH, and low levels of T3 and T4 increase the production of TSH. TSH levels are thus often used by doctors as a screening test, where the first approach is to determine whether TSH is elevated, suppressed, or normal. [25]

6. Hyperthyroidism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthyroidism

   In addition to testing the TSH levels, many doctors test for T 3, Free T 3, T 4, and/or Free T 4 for more detailed results. Free T 4 is unbound to any protein in the blood. Adult limits for these hormones are: TSH (units): 0.45 – 4.50 uIU/mL; T 4 Free/Direct (nanograms): 0.82 – 1.77 ng/dl; and T 3 (nanograms): 71 – 180 ng

7. Thyroid-stimulating hormone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid-stimulating_hormone

   Thyroid-stimulating hormone (also known as thyrotropin, thyrotropic hormone, or abbreviated TSH) is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroxine (T 4), and then triiodothyronine (T 3) which stimulates the metabolism of almost every tissue in the body. [1]

8. Hashimoto's thyroiditis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashimoto's_thyroiditis

   TSH is the preferred initial test of thyroid function as it has a higher sensitivity to changes in thyroid status than free T 4. [60] Time of day can affect the results of this test; TSH peaks early in the morning and slumps in the late afternoon to early evening, [61] with "a variation in TSH by a mean of between 0.95 mIU/mL to 2.0 mIU/mL". [62]
