Hypothyroidism Diagnosis - An OverviewPale, yellow skin, loss of the outer edge of the eyebrows, thin and brittle hair and nails, and coarse facial features are some of the symptoms that can be noticed during hypothyroidism diagnosis. A slow heart rate, low blood pressure, and low temperature are some of the other symptoms that can be noticed during hypothyroidism diagnosis.
Low serum sodium and a complete blood count that shows anemia are some of the other noticeable abnormalities that can be determined from laboratory tests in hypothyroidism diagnosis. Many blood tests are used during hypothyroidism diagnosis to diagnose and monitor patients with thyroid conditions. No single lab test performed is considered to be 100% accurate in determining thyroid disease.Usually a combination of two or more tests is performed as part of hypothyroidism diagnosis to determine whether there is a problem with the thyroid gland or the pituitary gland. The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and Free Thyroxine Index (FT4I) are the two blood tests most commonly performed during hypothyroidism diagnosis. These tests help diagnose patients with hypothyroidism and also help to monitor their progress while using a thyroid medication. TSH measurement helps the physician involved in hypothyroidism diagnosis to determine whether the problem is primary or secondary hypothyroidism.
