| Facet |
Possible values |
|
|
|
| Hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction or adaptation ("H") |
H0: Normal TSH secretion, adequate to T4 level H1: Thyrotropic insufficiency |
| Impaired plasma protein binding ("P") |
P0: Normal binding to plasma proteins P1: Normal binding with reduced levels of plasma proteins P2: reduced binding to proteins within normal levels P3: reduced binding and reduced protein levels |
| Reduced deiodation ("D") |
D0: Normal deiodation D1: Reduced deiodation activity |
|
Example: H1P0D1: Thyrotropic insufficiency with reduced deiodation and normal protein binding. | |
