RAIU stands for Radioactive Iodine Uptake, which is a test that measures the amount of radioactive iodine that is taken up by the thyroid gland in a certain amount of time. This test is used to evaluate thyroid function and diagnose conditions such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. GTT (glucose tolerance test), FBS (fasting blood sugar), and PPBS (postprandial blood sugar) are all tests used to evaluate blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes or other conditions affecting blood sugar control.
