Normal ranges are TSH;0.38-5.33mu/l https://padlet.com/aimeepinnington/u6o4qam2gohx80mt/wish/2478641264 The usual blood tests done for thyroid function are TSH, T4 and sometimes T3. In most cases, your TSH level will be the first hormone to be measured, because if this is normal, it is very likely that your thyroid is functioning normally.

Dysfunctional states: Complications with thyroid and parathyroid that can lead to osteoporosis]]> 2023-02-13 09:33:58 UTC https://padlet.com/aimeepinnington/u6o4qam2gohx80mt/wish/2478641960 https://padlet.com/aimeepinnington/u6o4qam2gohx80mt/wish/2478642159 Liver function tests can be used to:

  • Screen for liver infections, such as hepatitis
  • Monitor the progression of a disease, such as viral or alcoholic hepatitis, and determine how well a treatment is working
  • Measure the severity of a disease, particularly scarring of the liver (cirrhosis)
  • Monitor possible side effects of medications
