thyroid function tests

How are Thyroid Function Tests Interpreted?

Thyroid function tests are interpreted based on the levels of TSH, FT4, and FT3:
High TSH and low FT4: Suggests primary hypothyroidism.
Low TSH and high FT4/FT3: Indicates primary hyperthyroidism.
Normal TSH with abnormal FT4/FT3: Could indicate a pituitary or hypothalamic disorder.
Additional tests like thyroid antibodies may be performed to diagnose autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis or Graves' disease.
