Thyrotropin (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
別名: Thyrogen, Ambinon, Thyreostimulin, Thytropar
Thyrotropin is used as a **one-time diagnostic test** to evaluate how well your pet's thyroid gland is functioning. * **The Procedure:** Your pet will have a baseline blood sample drawn, receive an injection of the hormone, and then stay at the clinic (or return) for a second blood draw 4 to 6 hours later. * **Safety:** Because this is a human-derived protein, there is a very small risk of an allergic reaction. Let your veterinarian know immediately if you notice facial swelling, hives, vomiting, or difficulty breathing after the test. * **Cost:** The human recombinant product can be expensive, which may factor into the overall cost of the diagnostic workup.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。

可能的副作用
- Hypersensitivity reactions (especially with repeated injections of human-derived proteins in animals)

注意事項與禁忌
- Adrenocortical insufficiency (untreated Addison's disease)
- Hyperthyroidism
- Coronary thrombosis
- Hypersensitivity to bovine thyrotropin or human proteins
- Repeated administration is not advisable

- > **Hypersensitivity Warning:** Because the commercially available product is derived from human sources, hypersensitivity reactions may occur in patients sensitive to human proteins, particularly with repeated use. * **Pregnancy:** FDA Category C. Animal studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus, but there are no adequate studies in humans. * **Nursing:** Unknown if excreted in milk, but unlikely to be clinically significant when used for a one-time diagnostic test.
