Parathyroid2
  • For completeness sake, I should mention that there is an opposing hormone produced by the parathyroid gland (four little glands that live on the thyroid coincidentally) simply called parathyroid hormone that mobilizes calcium from the bones, so increases calcium in the blood stream when it's needed by destroying bone. (checkbiotech.org)

Toxic nodular1
  • I generally measure TSH receptor antibodies, and if these are not raised, I do further scanning to establish whether toxic nodular hyperthyroidism is present. (medscape.com)
Normalization of thyroid2
  • As a result of the normalization of thyroid levels, excess weight may be lost. (phentermine.com)
  • However, normalization of thyroid function alone does not necessarily reflect complete removal of the tumor, and more comprehensive criteria of cure based on pituitary imaging, hormone measurement, and suppression of TSH during T3 administration should be used. (nih.gov)
Pregnancy2
