The Perfect Test for Hypothyroidism?

There is no perfect test in medicine—not the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) or any other. For many years, doctors effectively diagnosed and treated the signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism without the TSH test or any tests at all. They listened to their patients and examined them and made the diagnosis. Since then, a parade of tests has been developed.  Each was considered the “right” way to make the diagnosis until it proved to be too unreliable and was discarded.
