The thyroid gland is a small organ that’s located in the front of the neck, wrapped around the windpipe aka the trachea. It is shaped like a butterfly, smaller in the middle with two wide wings that extend around the side of your throat. Your thyroid has an important job to do — releasing and controlling the levels of thyroid hormone. The main role of the thyroid hormone is to control many vital functions of your body including your metabolism. Thyroid disorders are very common. In fact, about 12% of people will experience abnormal thyroid function at some point during their lives, and an estimated 20 million people in the Unites States are suffering from some type of thyroid disorder.

Hypothyroidism, also called underactive thyroid, is when the thyroid gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormones to meet your body’s needs. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck. Thyroid hormones control the way the body uses energy, so they affect nearly every organ in your body, even the way your heart beats. Without enough thyroid hormones, many of your body’s functions slow down.

Thyroid function tests (TFTs) and labs explained easily in under 7 minutes (ish). First, we’ll be looking at the thyroid hormonal excess and once you understand the key players we’ll move on to see how I look at thyroid blood lab results. Learn how to interpret TFTs and to see if a patient has hypothyroid, euthyroid, or hyperthyroid.

Now the tricky part – how to read and analyze the blood tests when it comes to thyroid function tests (TFTs). Simples – watch the video and here are some timestamps to help guide you along the way.

0:00 – Intro
0:33 – Thyroid Hormonal Axis/The hypothalamic pituitary thyroid axis
1:26 – Primary care blood tests done in the UK
1:43 – Hyperthyroidism (Primary and secondary)
3:34 – Hypothyroidism (Primary and secondary)
5:03 – Subclinical hypothyroid/ subclinical hyperthyroid
6:34 – Outro – take attempt 675 (ish)

Thyroid Hormonal Axis:

The hypothalamus in the brain releases TRH (thyroid releasing hormone), which in turn stimulates the pituitary gland to release TSH (Thyroid secreting hormone. This pretty much does what it says on the tin. It goes to the thyroid gland and – yup you guessed it stimulates it to create T4 and T3. This, in turn, acts as a negative feedback loop back to the hypothalamus and the circle of life is complete folks!

High levels T4/T3 will slam the brakes and reduce the TRH and TSH production. Likewise low levels of T4/T3 then TRH and TSH levels rise – in order to normalize the low T4/T3.

What are normal T3, T4 and TSH (thyroid function test results)? In the UK this can vary between labs so check locally. My local labs have the following results:

TFT Normal Ranges:

TSH 0.4 – 4.0 mU/l (milliunits per litre)
FT4 9.0 – 25.0   pmol/l (picomoles per litre)
FT3 3.5 – 7.8 pmol/l (picomoles per litre)

Yes they can be. On an overall basis the thyroid problems have become more due to lifestyle changes food habits, stress , all these things are changed and the incidence has also increased. What we saw about 20 years ago the hypothyroidism or the hyperthyroidism has become more. What is hypothyroidism? The thyroid hormone maintains the BMR or the basal metabolic rate. So basal metabolic rate changes when the thyroid hormones are less, that is hypothyroidism. With Hyperthyroidism this increases. So both of these can cause problems and it affects the menstruation and definitely the fertility also because all these hormones are interrelated. Thyroid hormones, pituitary hormones , ovarian hormones are interrelated and with hypo and Hyperthyroidism, the ovulation or the release of the eggs are affected and in turn it can affect the hormones and the fertility. So as such on an overall basis even without the symptoms also these diseases can present. So when you go to a doctor the doctor will decide if there are some thyroid tests for you or not. The symptoms need not be present because of subtle hypo or Hyperthyroidism. TSH is thyroid stimulating hormones, secreted from the pituitary glands, which increases in Hypothyroidism and decreases in Hyperthyroidism because this is a negative feedback mechanism when you go to the doctor they tests for this. When you have period issues and go to a doctor and correct it if required. And make sure that the TSH is normal whenever you are conceiving because it is very important for the well being of the growing baby.

This video will have current and accurate information about thyroid biopsy. If your doctor had recently told you that you have a thyroid nodule, you are most likely trying to search as much information as possible before your biopsy. This video is a step by step guide through the fine needle aspiration of the thyroid. It will help patients and families to understand the procedure.

UF Health Endocrinology in Jacksonville empowers patients to make the lifestyle changes that prevent obesity, diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease and stroke. Physicians within the division have developed programs that make weight loss and diabetes prevention achievable. They also stress the importance of treating high cholesterol and elevated blood pressure to lessen the risk for heart disease and stroke. Additionally, these specialists diagnose and treat a wide variety of conditions affecting the thyroid (including thyroid cancer and thyroid biopsy), adrenal gland, pituitary gland, bones (including osteoporosis, calcium abnormalities and vitamin D deficiency), hormone replacement therapy, low testosterone and metabolic diseases.

Diagnostic and therapeutic decisions are based on the most recent data from scientific studies. All faculty have completed subspecialty training in endocrinology and are American Board of Internal Medicine certified in endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism.

According to the American Thyroid Association, women are five to eight times more likely than men to be diagnosed with thyroid disease. Since two of the most common Thyroid conditions, Graves’ Disease and Hashimoto’s are autoimmune in nature, their symptoms may often be confused with other health problems, which can make reaching a diagnosis for some, a long and puzzling process.

We are joined by Dr. Mark Lupo, Medical Director of the Thyroid & Endocrine Center of Florida, to discuss the diagnostic journey, the symptoms, the risks and how, due to advances in testing, one result just might provide the missing piece you’ve been looking for.
