How will these tests help?

For your enlarged thyroid gland (also known as goiter), the medical team has requested 8 tests to help understand why you have it. First, we can group the tests into two groups based on their similarities in diagnostic value

Group 1: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Test, Thyroid Autoantibody Test, Free T4 Test, Free T3 Test, Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody Test, and Thyroglobulin Antibody Test. These tests measure the amount of hormones produced by the thyroid gland and detect any antibodies related to thyroid function

Group 2: Thyroid Ultrasound and Thyroid Scan. These tests allow us to get an imaging of your thyroid gland so that we can assess its size and shape

The purpose of these tests is to help us understand why you have an enlarged thyroid gland. By measuring the hormone levels and detecting any antibodies related to the thyroid, we can determine if the enlargement is due to a thyroid disorder

The imaging tests allow us to assess the size of the thyroid gland and determine if the enlargement is due to a problem with the thyroid structure. With this information, we can then determine the best course of treatment for you.
