Question 1 of 1
1. Question
What laboratory tests are currently recommended by the ATA to diagnose thyroid disease?
Correct
Answer & Explanation:
The answer is D
Explanation:
The free T4 and the (third-generation) TSH assay should be used only for the diagnosis of patients most likely to have thyroid disease based on clinical presentation and relative risk (e.g., age, sex, family history), not for population screening. Th e thirdgeneration TSH assay is also more commonly used to monitor replacement therapy, and to minimize overtreatment and the corresponding risk of accelerated bone loss.

Explanation:
The free T4 and the (third-generation) TSH assay should be used only for the diagnosis of patients most likely to have thyroid disease based on clinical presentation and relative risk (e.g., age, sex, family history), not for population screening. Th e thirdgeneration TSH assay is also more commonly used to monitor replacement therapy, and to minimize overtreatment and the corresponding risk of accelerated bone loss.
The ATA recommends a free thyroxine (FT4) and a sensitive TSH assay as the primary laboratory tests for diagnosing thyroid disease (Figure 47-4).
