Follow the steps to successfully fill out the Thyroid Function Ordering Algorithm.

1. Press the ‘Get Form’ button to access the Thyroid Function Ordering Algorithm and open it in your preferred online editor.
2. Begin by selecting either the cascade approach, which automatically performs all appropriate tests, or choose to order each test individually, starting with the Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone-Sensitive (s-TSH), Serum test.
3. If the s-TSH result is less than 0.10 mIU/L, it suggests a hyperthyroid suspect. If it falls within 0.10–0.29 mIU/L, this indicates borderline low TSH, and further testing is only required if clinically indicated.
4. For results between 0.30–4.2 mIU/L, proceed with evaluating the patient for hypothyroid suspicion. To do this, order the Free T4 test, referred to as FRT4 / T4 (Thyroxine), Free, Serum.
5. If the Free T4 result is found to be normal, the next step is to order the Total T3 test, which is identified as T3 / T3 (Triiodothyronine), Total, Serum.
6. Remember to inform users that for 12 hours before the blood test, they should refrain from taking multivitamins or dietary supplements that contain biotin, as this can affect test results.
7. Once all necessary fields and sections are filled out, users can save their changes, download a copy for their records, print the form for submission, or share it as required.
