Thyroid disease is a global health problem that can substantially impact well-being, particularly in pregnancy and childhood. Statistics show that thyroid conditions are 5 to 10 times more common in women compared to men.

Hormones released by the thyroid gland play a crucial role in stimulating metabolism, growth, and calories processing.

Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Thyroid Axis

The hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis primarily functions to maintain normal circulating levels of thyroid hormones that are essential for the biological function of our tissues.

Clinical Applications

Test Item	Clinical Significance
TSH	The most sensitive biomarker for thyroid function Diagnosis of subclinical thyroid dysfunction (subclinical hyperthyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism) Monitoring the efficacy of levothyroxine (L-T4) replacement therapy for primary hypothyroidism Central hypothyroidism (pituitary and hypothalamic)
T3 T4	Direct indicators of thyroid function, but affected by TBG concentration High levels of T3 and T4 often indicate an overactive thyroid, whereas low levels indicate an underactive thyroid T3 is more sensitive to the diagnosis of mild hyperthyroidism, early hyperthyroidism and recurrence of hyperthyroidism after treatment T4 decreases more obviously in hypothyroidism
fT3 fT4	Not affected by TBG concentration Better indicators in the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism compared to T3 and T4 fT3 is a better indicator in monitoring the treatment efficacy of hyperthyroidism compared to fT4
