title: Diagnostic tests for feline hyperthyroidism.
abstract: Until recently, the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism in cats was thought to be simple; however, not all cases of the disease are straightforward. Although single resting serum thyroid-hormone determinations may well be adequate to confirm the diagnosis, in many cases, the diagnosis of feline hyperthyroidism requires more extensive investigation.
