Frequently Asked Question
Is T4 alone a sufficient screening test for canine hypothyroidism?
No, T4 alone can give misleading  results.  It can overdiagnose hypothyroidism
in the presence of non-thyroidal illness or use of certain drugs; underdiagnose hyperthyroidism  in cats or from thyroxine overdosage; inaccurately assess adequacy of thyroxine therapy; and  fail to detect autoimmune thyroiditis.
