The Global Clinical Diagnostics Market – Thyroid Function Testing: Highlights
The highly prescribed and sensitive thyrotropin (TSH) and free thyroid hormone measurements (free T3 and T4) by endocrinologist suspecting thyroid gland malfunctioning, have made interpretation of thyroid function relatively simpler, but there are occasions where the pattern is confusing or misleading.
Change in the pattern of thyroid hormone are usually seen in emergency patients with no known thyroid dysfunction. A decrease in triiodothyronine (T3) has been observed with normal levels of free thyroxine (fT4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), a condition commonly known in medical science as euthyroid sick syndrome (ESS) or non-thyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS), or low T3 syndrome. Medically, thyroid hormone changes are believed to be physiological adaptations owing to re-allocation and metabolism of body energy caused by an acute illness. Therefore, in many cases, thyroid hormone levels return to normal once the illness or stress condition is overcome.
The market has few players and is considered niche. Companies such as Thermo Fisher (US), Abbott (US), Roche (Switzerland), DiaSorin (Italy), Danaher (US), Kronus (US), Merck (Germany), Cortez Diagnostics (US), bioMérieux (France), Qualigen (US), and Autobio Diagnostics (China) play a significant role in the market.
