Overview
Laboratory Findings
- Measurement of serum TSH is considered as the initial test in the evaluation of thyroid disorders.[1][2][3][4]
- It should be measured in all patients with a thyroid nodule or goiter.
- The serum free T 4 and free or total T 3 levels are elevated or in the upper part of the normal range.
- Toxic adenomas can be associated with overt or subclinical hyperthyroidism.
- In overt hyperthyroidism, usually both serum (free) T4 and T3 are elevated.
- Isolated T 3 toxicosis, in which the serum T 3 concentration is elevated but free T 4 is normal, occurs in approximately 1% of patients with hyperthyroidism.
- When the TSH is low, but both free T 4 and T 3 levels are normal, the patient has subclinical or mild hyperthyroidism, which is common in toxic multinodular goiter, especially in older patients.
- Findings of routine laboratory tests include:
- elevated serum calcium
- elevated alkaline phosphataseh
- elevated ferritin levels
- low (LDL) cholesterol levels.
