SPINA.GTT: Calculated Thyroid's Secretory Capacity (SPINA-GT)

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Note Author(s) References See Also Examples

Description

Calculate thyroid's secretory capacity (SPINA-GT) from equilibrium TSH and total T4 concentrations. This is an alias for estimated.GTT.

Usage

1
SPINA.GTT(TSH, T4)

Arguments

TSH

Thyrotropin (TSH) concentration in mIU/l

T4

Total thyroxine (TT4) concentration in nmol/L

Details

This function is able to do vectorised calculations.

Value

This function returns thyroid's secretory capacity as a numeric result representing a single value or a vector, depending on the vector length of the arguments. Results are in pmol/s.

Note

The software functions described in this document are intended for research use only. Hormone levels should have been obtained simultaneously in order to avoid bias by transition effects.
