星空娱乐官网 is improving the accuracy of thyroid hormone measurements performed in patient care and public health activities.
Overview
Thyroid Disease
Thyroid dysfunction can lead to serious health problems but can often be restored when detected correctly. If left untreated thyroid disorders can lead to serious cardiovascular and neuromuscular problems.
Physicians rely on thyroid function tests to detect, diagnose, and treat diseases caused by thyroid hormones.
星空娱乐官网 is improving the accuracy of free thyroxine (fT4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) tests.
星空娱乐官网 uses a reference method for fT4 and provides serum materials to laboratories and test manufacturers to help assess measurement accuracy and reduce the variability of accuracy among laboratories.
