Re: Question for anyone that knows something about thyroid tests,,,please:(
Hiya, my little sister had a lump which turned out to be a cyst on her thyroid.....they keep doing blood test after blood test on her as the cyst hasn't affected her thyroid function, and they where surprised that it hasnt.
Do you know if the low blood levels where for something called TSH? or for T4?
I think the reason they'd want to do these tests is because thyroid cysts/nodules can affect hormone levels, also if T4 levels are low they might also want to do a more specialised check for thyroid antibodies....as this is what they did for me before putting me on thyroid replacement treatment (i actually have hypothyroidism). Also im thinking if they suspected any kind of growth they would have biopsied it immediately as that is what they did with my sister, mainly due to her young age. x
