How to interpret your blood test results Review your lab test results Overview Glucose Electrolytes Waste Products Enzymes Proteins Blood Fats Minerals Thyroid Glycohemoglobin CBC Risk Factors Urinalysis Overview Laboratory tests are tools helpful in evaluating the health status of an individual. It is important to realize that laboratory results may be outside of the so-called "normal range" for many reasons. These variations may be due to such things as race, dietetic preference, age, sex, menstrual cycle, degree of physical activity, problems with collection and/or handling of the specimen, non-prescription drugs (aspirin, cold medications, vitamins, etc.), prescription drugs, alcohol intake and a number of non-illness-related factors, Any unusual or abnormal results should be discussed with your physician. It is not possible to diagnose or treat any disease or problem with this blood test alone. It can, however, help you to learn more about your body and detect potential problems in early stages when treatment or changes in personal habits can be most effective. Our lab, like almost all labs, sets the normal result range for a particular test so that 95% of our healthy patients fall within the normal range. That means that 5% of our healthy patients fall outside of the normal range, even when there is nothing wrong with them. Thus an abnormal test does not necessarily mean that there is something wrong with you. Statistically if you have 20 or 30 individual tests run as part of a panel, chances are 1 or 2 will be slightly outside the normal range. Part of what you see your doctor for is to interpret whether or not these changes are significant.

The 22-year-old won her second overall World Cup title last year but has also required four knee operations since then and is set to miss the whole of the current season.

Sources at Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore revealed late Thursday morning that the lump removed from Mrs. Gore's thyroid gland in a brief surgical procedure is not cancerous. Mrs. Gore had minor surgery at the medical center Tuesday to remove the lump. Her attending doctor, endocrinologist Robert Udelsman, was scheduled to hold a press conference later Thursday to discuss the results of a biopsy on the nodule. All indications were that the lump is benign, meaning Gore will likely not suffer any long-term ill effects of the growth.

Detection Diagnosis Screening Tests Recommendations ... Thyroid Hormone Treatment Related Topics: Thyroiditis Hyperthyroidism Risk Factors for Thyroid Cancer Thyroid Surgery ... New York Thyroid Center Home hyroid nodules, or lumps, are quite common, occurring in more than 50% of the world's population. Moreover, the likelihood of developing a thyroid nodule increases with age and in part represents the aging process of the thyroid gland. Although most nodules are harmless and do not require any treatment at all, approximately 5% of all nodules are cancerous and therefore require attention. Thyroid nodules occur more frequently in women than in men, however the incidence of can cerous nodules is greatest in men. Despite the low incidence of cancer, all nodules should be evaluated by a physician to determine their status. Although the cause of most thyroid nodules is unknown, some risk factors for developing nodules include a lack of iodine in the diet, which can cause thyroid enlargement, family history of benign thyroid nodules, and pre-existing thyroid disease (e.g. Hashimoto's thyroiditis). Detection Most thyroid nodules do not cause any symptoms like neck pain or fever, therefore most remain unnoticed until a physician finds them during a routine neck exam.

77. Thyroid Testing In Avian Species Discusses signs of hypothyroidism in birds and current testing methods. http://www.exoticpetvet.net/dvms/thyroid.html

Home About Us Our Bios Vet Info ... Small Animals Margaret A. Wissman, D.V.M., Diplomate, ABVP, Avian Practice Bill Parsons, M.S. Thyroid Testing in Avian Species Thyroid testing is controversial in birds. The thyroid test, T4 that is routinely run on birds is a RIA test, which is primarily used for canine and feline testing. Unfortunately, since the normal thyroid levels for avian species are so much lower than those found in dogs and cats; the test is not going to be the most accurate for birds. An experimental test has been developed that is not commercially available yet for avian thyroid testing. Until that methodology becomes available, we must make do with the testing at hand. The RIA test that is currently being used for thyroid testing is accurate down to approximately 0.5 ug/dl. At this point it begins to lose its linearity and accuracy, down to 0.2 ug/dl. Once the value drops below 0.2 ug/dl, the value becomes unreliable. Adding to the diagnostic dilemma is the fact that the normal range of T4 varies considerably between the different species of birds, even within birds of the same Genus. Hypothyroidism should never be diagnosed based on ONE low T4 value. Very few documented cases of hypothyroidism have been diagnosed in birds. To accurately diagnose hypothyroidism, a TStim should be performed. However, the necessary hormone, THS, is a human product that costs approximately $1,000 for a box containing two vials (Genzyme). A bovine derived THS is available, but it is NOT produced for use in animals, and is made for experimental use only. With concerns about BSE, I would not recommend using this product in avian patients.

78. Thyroid Gland Your thyroid gland makes hormones to regulate physiological functions in your body.It is located in the middle of the lower neck, below the voice box and http://www.entnet.org/healthinfo/thyroid/thyroid_gland.cfm

ENT LINK ENT Health Information Thyroid/Parathyroid Thyroid Gland Thyroid Gland What Is Your Thyroid Gland? Your thyroid gland is one of the endocrine glands, which make hormones to regulate physiological functions in your body. The thyroid gland manufactures thyroid hormone, which regulates the rate at which your body carries on its necessary functions. Other endocrine glands are the pancreas, the pituitary, the adrenal glands, the parathyroid glands, the testes, and the ovaries. The thyroid gland is located in the middle of the lower neck, below the larynx (voice box) and just above your clavicles (collarbones). It is shaped like a "bow tie," having two halves (lobes): a right lobe and a left lobe joined by an "isthmus.". You can't always feel a normal thyroid gland. When Is A Thyroid Gland Abnormal? Diseases of the thyroid gland are very common, affecting millions of Americans. The most common diseases are an over- or under-active gland. These conditions are called hyperthyroidism (e.g., Grave's disease) and hypothyroidism. Sometimes the thyroid gland can become enlarged from over-activity (as in Grave's disease) or from under-activity (as in hypothyroidism). An enlarged thyroid gland is often called a "goiter." Sometimes an inflammation of the thyroid gland (Hashimoto's disease) will cause enlargement of the gland. Patients may develop "lumps" or "masses" in their thyroid glands. They may appear gradually or very rapidly. Patients who had radiation therapy to the head or neck as children for acne, adenoids, or other reasons are more prone to develop thyroid malignancy. A doctor should evaluate all thyroid "lumps" (nodules).

Recent Survey Results Probably the second most common observation we have made is that patients arrive at our clinic with thousands of dollars worth of testing that was completely unnecessary. Indeed, and this is especially true in large institutions, once a patient is found to have a "thyroid problem" they are immediately herded to a clinic that performs a battery of routine testing without regard for the individual patient's needs. This may be convenient for the institution, but it can be costly, invasive, painful, and often times unnecessary. Our clinic has thrived for more than fifty-four years as an extension of a medical center practice that began in 1949. The reason for this success is that each patient's diagnostic and treatment plan is carefully constructed to fit individual needs.
