Can Toxicological Testing Aid in Thyroidectomy Decisions?
Toxicological testing can play a pivotal role in decision-making around thyroidectomy. For example, measuring levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and other thyroid-related biomarkers can help determine the extent of thyroid dysfunction due to toxic exposure. Identifying specific toxins through testing can also guide surgical decisions and post-surgical care, ensuring comprehensive management of the patient's condition.
