Tests Regarding the Thyroid Gland Functioning
Plasma total thyroxine (T4)
- Norrmal plasma concentration: 60–150 nmol/l
- Was widely used in the past as a test of thyroid function
- Disadvantage: dependent on concentration of binding protein (TBG), therefore increased e.g. in pregnancy and on anticonceptive drugs.
