What is the diagnostic test for checking thyroid problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Function, neoplasia: Hi. Thyroid problems can be roughly broken down into two categories, disorders of thyroid function (hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism) and disorders of neoplasia (cancer and benign). The tests for thyroid function are TSH and free T4 at a minimum; I also get free T3 (liothyronine) if I am monitoring hyperthyroidism. Neoplasia is checked by physical exam of thyroid and ultrasound; fine needle aspiration biopsy?
