Thyroid disorders are prevalently diagnosed yet face significant challenges in their accurate identification in China. Predominantly, the reference intervals (RIs) currently in use across Chinese medical facilities derive from company-provided data, lacking stringent scientific validation. This practice underscores the urgent necessity for establishing tailored RIs for thyroid-related hormones, specifically tailored to the coastal area populations. Such refined RIs are imperative for empowering clinicians with the precise tools needed for the accurate diagnosis of both overt and subclinical thyroid conditions.
