Abstract:
The clinical indicators for detecting thyroid function include triiodothyronine, thyroxine, free triiodothyronine, free thyroxine, thyroid stimulating hormone, thyroid peroxidase antibodies, anti-thyrotropin receptor antibody, and thyroglobulin antibodies. Thyroid illness diagnosis and therapy benefit from the standardization and consistency of thyroid function testing programs. At present, some small-molecule hormone items can already achieve standardization, but for protein detection items, due to the complexity of the measurement, there are still difficulties and challenges to achieving standardization. This article summarizes the detection methods of thyroid function examination indicators, the reasons that affect the comparability of results between different methods, and the standardization progress and problems of different detection items.
