High impact information on Thyroid Function Tests

Effect of fenclofenac on thyroid-function tests [1].
Methadone and thyroid-function tests [2].
Evidently, the presence of thyroid hormone antibodies should be suspected when results of thyroid-function tests are discordant with the clinical state, and we suggest that measurement of thyrotropin by an assay with improved detection limits will aid in correctly determining thyroid status [3].
We compared the utility of a sensitive immunoradiometric assay for serum thyrotropin as a "first-line" thyroid-function test with a strategy based on first measuring total thyroxin in serum [4].
Lack of effect of isotretinoin on thyroid-function tests [5].

Biological context of Thyroid Function Tests

A complete blood cell count, nerve-conduction tests, thyroid-function tests (needed in all patients with carpal tunnel syndrome), and when necessary, needle electromyography can help confirm the diagnosis [6].

Associations of Thyroid Function Tests with chemical compounds

Letter: Thyroid-function tests in diphenylhydantoin-treated patients [7].
The remaining 63 patients underwent DEXA assessment and the following laboratory investigations: (i) liver function tests, (ii) urea, (iii) electrolytes, (iv) calcium, (v) phosphate, (vi) full blood count, (v) 25-hydroxyvitamin D level and (vi) thyroid-function tests [8].

Gene context of Thyroid Function Tests

Bovine TSH was used to test thyroid function and to augment the uptake of radioiodine in patients with thyroid cancer [9].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Thyroid Function Tests

Radioimmunoassay of free thyroxine in serum: comparison with clinical findings and results of conventional thyroid-function tests [10].
