Abstract | AIMS: Thyroid fine-needle biopsy (FNB) is a simple, reliable, inexpensive and generally safe diagnostic procedure in the management of thyroid nodules. FNB may trigger biochemical alterations through destruction of thyroid follicles. We aimed to investigate long-term post-FNB alterations in serum thyroid-related parameters. |
