Sentences with phrase «detect autoimmune thyroid disease»

Many endocrinologists consider measuring TSH levels to be the «gold standard,» but other markers are as important to be carefully analyzed, like Free T4, and Free T3 — the actual circulating thyroid hormones — or antibodies like TPO (thyroid peroxidase antibodies) to detect autoimmune thyroid disease.
