How Is Graves' Disease Diagnosed?

Diagnosis of Graves’ disease typically involves:

  • Blood Tests: To measure levels of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
  • Thyroid Scan: To assess the size and activity of the thyroid gland.
  • Radioactive Iodine Uptake Test: To measure how much iodine the thyroid absorbs, which can help confirm hyperthyroidism.
