Laboratory Findings
- Blood hormone level tests: Blood tests of thyroid hormone can determine the function of thyroid and pituitary glands. Usually, serum thyroid hormone levels (T3, T4) and serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) are detected. Goiter associated with an overactive thyroid usually involves a high level of thyroid hormone and a lower than normal TSH level in the blood.
- An antibody test: For some causes of goiter such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves-Basedow disease, a blood test about antibodies may be helpful to the diagnosis.
