Umsebenzi ophambili we-thyroid gland kukwenza nokukhupha iihomoni ze-thyroid, kuquka i-thyroxine (T4) kunye ne-triiodothyronine (T3), i-Free Thyroxine (FT4), i-Fre Triiodothyronine (FT3) kunye ne-Thyroid Stimulating Hormone ezidlala indima ebalulekileyo kwi-metabolism yomzimba kunye nokusetyenziswa kwamandla.

Iihomoni ze-thyroid zichaphazela uphuhliso lomntu ngokwasemzimbeni, ukukhula, imetabolism, kunye nempilo iyonke ngokulawula iinkqubo ze-physiological ezifana namazinga okusabela kwemetabolism ngaphakathi kweeseli, ubushushu bomzimba, isantya sentliziyo, amandla okugaya ukutya, inkqubo yemithambo-luvo kunye nomsebenzi wezihlunu, ukuveliswa kweeseli ezibomvu zegazi, kunye nemetabolism yamathambo.

I-thyroid esebenza kakhulu okanye engasebenzi kakuhle inokubangela ukuba impendulo yomzimba kwezi hormone ingalingani. I-Hyperthyroidism inokukhokelela kwimetabolism ekhawulezayo, isantya sentliziyo esonyukayo, ubushushu bomzimba obunyukileyo, kunye nokusetyenziswa kwepetroli okukhawulezileyo, ngelixa i-hypothyroidism inokukhokelela kwimetabolism ecothayo, isantya sentliziyo esiphantsi, ubushushu bomzimba obuphantsi, kunye nokuveliswa kobushushu bomzimba okunciphileyo.

NasiIiTT3 Test,Uvavanyo lweTT4, Uvavanyo lwe-FT4, Uvavanyo lwe-FT3,Ikhithi yovavanyo lwe-TSHukufumanisa umsebenzi we-thyroid
