| Usage: |
Total Thyroid hormone levels include protein-bound levels and are affected by abnormalities in thyroid hormone-binding proteins like Thyroid Binding Globulin (TBG). TBG is increased due to the effects of estrogens like pregnancy, oral contraceptives & Tamoxifen therapy. TBG is decreased due to the effect of excessive androgens and Nephrotic syndrome. In addition, genetic disorders, acute illness, and various drugs can all affect thyroid hormone binding. Hence assays that measure unbound or free hormones are preferable to total thyroid hormones. |
