thyroid levels
Gland function measurements
Thyroid levels refers to the concentration of thyroid hormones in the blood, measured to assess thyroid function.
Doctors order thyroid level tests to diagnose conditions like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism: Her thyroid levels came back low.
The phrase appears almost exclusively in medical contexts, where patients discuss results with their doctors or compare notes with others.
