Evaluation of Thyroid Function in Health and Disease

چکیده
This chapter has been superceeded by 4 newer chapters, 6a, 6b, 6c, and 6d. However this Chapter, written originally by Dr Samuel Refetoff and updated by Drs Franklyn and Shephard, remains a treasure trove of information on many now-obscure thyroid tests, and references. For that reason we maintain it as a part of our Archive for use of MDs who may wish to investigate a bit of the history of thyroid testing. L De Groot, MD
