A test with thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is one of the methods for differential diagnosis of primary and secondary damage to the thyroid gland. It is based on determining changes in the intensity of absorption of radioactive iodine by the thyroid gland, as well as in the concentration of protein-bound iodinated hormones in the blood.
With primary damage to the thyroid gland, an increase in the intensity of iodine absorption and the concentration of protein-bound hormones is observed, which indicates the normal functioning of the gland. With secondary damage caused by a violation of humoral regulation, the level of hormones decreases, and iodine absorption remains normal or even increases. This makes it possible to determine the secondary nature of the thyroid gland lesion and prescribe appropriate treatment.
The TSH test is a simple and accessible diagnostic method that can be used in any clinical laboratory. Its results can help in choosing the right treatment tactics and assessing the effectiveness of the therapy.
The thyreothrinin test is a method for differential diagnosis of primary and secondary lesions of the thyroid gland. It is based on a change in the absorption of radioactive iodine, protein-bound iodine, and thyroid hormones by the gland. The introduction of thyroid hormone causes an increase in these parameters. Makes it possible to distinguish between a primary malfunction of the gland and a secondary one associated with a violation of hormonal regulation. Determining thyroid level
