What is the Origin of Thyroid Function Markers?

The measurement of thyroid hormones emerged from endocrinology's understanding of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis. TSH measurement, in particular, became the cornerstone for assessing pituitary feedback control over the thyroid gland.

What is the Mechanism of Thyroid Function Markers?

TSH, secreted by the pituitary, drives the thyroid gland to produce and release T4 and T3. The free, unbound fractions of T4 and T3 exert direct control over cellular metabolic rate across nearly all tissues. Monitoring the relationship between TSH and the free thyroid hormones reveals whether the gland itself is primary pathology or if the issue lies upstream in the pituitary or hypothalamus.

Thyroid Function Markers

Meaning

Thyroid Function Markers are laboratory assays quantifying the levels of key hormones and binding proteins that reflect the synthetic activity and regulatory control of the thyroid gland. Primary markers include Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Free Thyroxine (fT4), and Free Triiodothyronine (fT3). Accurate interpretation is essential for diagnosing hypo- or hyperthyroidism and assessing cellular metabolic tone.
