Understanding Thyroid Blood Tests: TSH, Free T3, and Free T4

Understand what TSH, Free T4, and Free T3 blood tests mean, how thyroid feedback loops function, and when to discuss your results with an endocrinologist.

•TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) is produced by the pituitary gland to regulate thyroid gland hormone synthesis via negative feedback.
•High TSH with low Free T4 typically indicates primary hypothyroidism; low TSH with elevated Free T4/T3 indicates hyperthyroidism.

How to Understand a Liver Function Test (LFT) Report

Learn what liver enzyme tests mean: understand SGOT/AST, SGPT/ALT, total and direct bilirubin, and how to discuss elevated liver enzymes with your doctor.

•Liver function tests measure enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP) and proteins (albumin, bilirubin) to assess hepatic inflammation, bile flow, and synthetic capacity.
•ALT (SGPT) is more specific to the liver than AST (SGOT), which is also present in heart and skeletal muscle tissue.

How to Understand Kidney Function Tests: Creatinine, BUN & eGFR

Understand your Kidney Function Test (KFT / RFT) report: Serum Creatinine, eGFR stages, Blood Urea Nitrogen, and how to prepare for clinical discussions.

•Kidneys filter approximately 180 liters of blood daily, eliminating nitrogenous waste products while preserving essential electrolytes and water.
•Serum creatinine is a waste product of muscle metabolism; elevated blood levels typically indicate reduced glomerular filtration.
