Re: Re: Stomach Pain Thryoid

[Guest guest]

We can't cope with blood tests any more but there is a urine Thyroid

function test.

Here is a copy of what it says about the test :

'The diagnosis of hypothyroidism is usually made almost exclusively from

measurements of TSH and T4

levels found in blood tests. However this method is thought to be

largely ineffective at diagnosing cases

of mild hypothyroidism, more accurately termed 'thyroid dysfunction'.

Hormone levels in urine,

assesses tissue exposure to thyroid hormones over a 24-hour period. The

urine thyroid test therefore

serves as a valuable tool for detecting those patients that are

suffering from thyroid dysfunction that

may otherwise go undetected through standard blood tests.'

,

I don't think I saw this before. That would be great if a urine test

sufficed. Could you tell me where thisinformatin originated?
