DE SEGURO
Alternate Name:
T4;Tetraiodothyronine;
Utilidad clínica:
"thyroxine (T4) is used along with T3 to assess thyroid function. Produced by the thyroid gland, its regulation is controlled by a complex feedback mechanism. Decreasing levels of T4 causes increased production of TSH and TRH by the hypothalamus and pituitary respectively. Therefore, there is an inverse relationship between the Total T4 level and TSH in a patient with an intact thyroid and a normally functioning pituitary axis "
