Umsebenzi oyinhloko wendlala yegilo ukukhiqiza nokukhipha ama-hormone egilo, okuhlanganisa i-thyroxine (T4) kanye ne-triiodothyronine (T3), i-Free Thyroxine (FT4), i-Fre Triiodothyronine (FT3) kanye ne-Thyroid Stimulating Hormone ezidlala indima ebalulekile ekusetshenzisweni komzimba kanye nokusetshenziswa kwamandla.

Ama-hormone e-thyroid athinta intuthuko yomuntu ngokomzimba, ukukhula, ukwakheka kwe-metabolism, kanye nempilo iyonke ngokulawula izinqubo zomzimba ezifana namazinga okusabela kokwakheka kwe-metabolic ngaphakathi kwamaseli, izinga lokushisa lomzimba, izinga lokushaya kwenhliziyo, amandla okugaya ukudla, ukusebenza kwesimiso sezinzwa kanye nemisipha, ukukhiqizwa kwamaseli abomvu egazi, kanye nokwakheka kwe-metabolism yamathambo.

I-thyroid esebenza ngokweqile noma engasebenzi kahle ingabangela ukuthi impendulo yomzimba kula ma-hormone ingalingani. I-Hyperthyroidism ingaholela ekusetshenzisweni kwe-metabolism okusheshayo, izinga lokushaya kwenhliziyo elikhuphukile, izinga lokushisa lomzimba elikhuphukile, kanye nokusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli okusheshayo, kuyilapho i-hypothyroidism ingaholela ekusetshenzisweni kwe-metabolism okuhamba kancane, izinga lokushaya kwenhliziyo elikhuphukile, izinga lokushisa lomzimba elinciphile, kanye nokukhiqizwa kokushisa komzimba okunciphile.

Lapha sinayoAma-TT3 Test,Ukuhlolwa kwe-TT4, Ukuhlolwa kwe-FT4, Ukuhlolwa kwe-FT3,Ikhithi yokuhlola i-TSHukuthola umsebenzi we-thyroid
