    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_function_tests

    Thyroid hormone uptake (T uptake or T 3 uptake) is a measure of the unbound thyroxine binding globulins in the blood, that is, the TBG that is unsaturated with thyroid hormone. [2] Unsaturated TBG increases with decreased levels of thyroid hormones. It is not directly related to triiodothyronine, despite the name T 3 uptake. [2] Reference ranges:

  3. 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.

  4. Thyroxine-binding globulin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroxine-binding_globulin

    Thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) is a globulin protein encoded by the SERPINA7 gene in humans. TBG binds thyroid hormones in circulation.It is one of three transport proteins (along with transthyretin and serum albumin) responsible for carrying the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T 4) and triiodothyronine (T 3) in the bloodstream.

    People with hyperthyroid will typically "take up" higher than normal levels of radioiodine. Normal ranges for RAI uptake are from 10 to 30%. 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.

  6. Triiodothyronine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triiodothyronine

    T 3 is the more metabolically active hormone produced from T 4.T 4 is deiodinated by three deiodinase enzymes to produce the more-active triiodothyronine: . Type I present in liver, kidney, thyroid, and (to a lesser extent) pituitary; it accounts for 80% of the deiodination of T 4.

    A related parameter is the free thyroxine index, which is total T 4 multiplied by thyroid hormone uptake, which, in turn, is a measure of the unbound TBG. [74] Additionally, thyroid disorders can be detected prenatally using advanced imaging techniques and testing fetal hormone levels. [75]

    The presence of this lobe ranges in reported studies from 18.3% [11] to 44.6%. [12] It was shown to more often arise from the left side and occasionally separated. [11] The pyramidal lobe is also known as Lalouette's pyramid. [13] The pyramidal lobe is a remnant of the thyroglossal duct, which usually wastes away during the thyroid gland's ...
