The analysis of the antibodies against thyroid peroxidase is used, mainly, to diagnose and control of conditions of the immune system related to the thyroid gland
Tilt Table Test
It is a simple and non-invasive test for observing the blood pressure changes and the heart frequency while you bend or change the pallet position in which you lay down.
This test is used to diagnose Vasovagal syncope.
Tonometry
Simple, fast and painless examination performed to measure the pressure in the eye. Coloring drops are used in each eye and a special instrument called Tonometer to measure the pressure.
It's performed with an anesthetic eyedrop for it not to cause pain or discomfort.
Tonsillectomy
It's performed to remove the tonsils. Tonsils are tissue masses locates in both sides of throat.
The procedure is of short duration and it is performed under general anesthesia.

TP and KPTT
Prothrombine Time (PT) and Partial Thromboplastin Time (KPPT). Test that allows, through a blood sample, verifying the time it takes the blood to coagulate, and it helps to establish if the person has bleeding or coagulation problems.
Normal Value of TP: between 12 to 15 seconds.
Normal Value of KPPT: between 25 to 38 seconds.
Trabeculectomy
surgery perform for the treatment of the glaucoma, in which a new route is surgically created to release the aqueous humor and reduce the pressure inside the eye.
Trabeculoctomy
Surgery performed for the treatment of Glaucoma, in which a surgical opening of a trabecular (part of the eye where the aqueous humor drains) to increase the flow of aqueous humor and reduce the pressure inside the eye.

Traffic of the Small Intestine
Radiological invasive study which allows to study the Small Intestine. A probe is placed via the mouth or nose through which barium is injected. During the process, various radiographic shots are taken until observation of the whole intestine.
Tremor Physical Examination
The doctor may perform the following examination or exploration:
.Control of Cardiac Frequency (Normal: 60 to 100 beats/minute)
.Control of Breathing Frequency (Normal: 16 to 20 breathing cycles/minute)
.Control of Temperature (Normal: 36,5 - 37 °C)
.Control of Blood Pressure (Normal: ≤ 120/80 mmHg)
Neurological Examination:
-Do posture tests (upper limbs extended), kinetics (index-nose), of writing and spiral drawings with hands up.
-Evaluate the march
-Evaluate muscle tone
-Evaluate reflex
-Evaluate sensitivity
-Evaluate active motility and muscle strength
-Evaluate mental state
