What a Thyroid Doctor in Lahore Does at Your First Visit
Your symptoms and any thyroid results you already have are reviewed together, then TSH is checked first, T3 and T4 next, antibodies where autoimmune disease is likely, and an ultrasound for any neck swelling.
Bring any earlier thyroid blood test results with you. A normal result does not always rule thyroid disease out, because early autoimmune disease can show normal hormone levels before the gland is much affected, so symptoms, antibodies and ultrasound all count.
