Table 1 Summary of different biomarkers
From: Different novel biomarkers involved in diagnosing hypothyroidism
Biomarkers | ||

T3 resin uptake | ||
Free T4 index | ||
T4-binding globulin | ||
Anti-TPO | ||
Radioactive iodine uptake | ||
2. Lipid profile | TC (mg/dl) | Reduced activity of HMG-CoA reductase shows the changes in cholesterol levels in the body due to hypothyroidism |
TAG (mg/dl) | ||
HDL-C (mg/dl) | ||
TC/HDL-C | ||
TAG/HDL-C | ||
3. Cytokines | IL-6 | Confirming changes in autoimmunity of thyroid |
