Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of silent thyroiditis usually include increased free T3,free T4, decreased thyroid stimulating hormone in thyrotoxicosis and decreased free T3,free T4, increased thyroid stimulating hormone in hypothyroidism. Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody is usually high.
Laboratory Findings
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of silent thyroiditis usually include increased free T3,free T4, decreased thyroid stimulating hormone in thyrotoxicosis and decreased free T3,free T4, increased thyroid stimulating hormone in hypothyroidism. Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody is usually high.[1][2]
Thyroid hormones
- In thyrotoxicosis
- Increased Free T3 and Free T4
- Decreased Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
- In hypothyroidism
- Decreased Free T3 and Free T4
- Increased Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
Thyroid antibodies
- Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies (anti-TPO) are usually high.
