Abstract: Thyroid function tests are used for the diagnosis of all thyroid disorders, but are particularly important for the diagnosis of thyroid hormone deficiency (hypothyroidism) or excess (hyperthyroidism or thyrotoxicosis). Most frequently used are in vitro blood tests, but in vivo tests with radioisotopes can also provide information on thyroid function.
