Abstract
For routine thyroid function testing many laboratories now confine themselves to assay of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). This will identify the great majority of affected patients1 though it can miss secondary hypothyroidism.2,3 TSH measurement is also used to monitor thyroxine replacement, and on rare occasions this too can be misleading.
