Fasting is not a requirement for these tests.
NEW – Thyroid Panel includes;
TPO (Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies) The presence of TPO antibodies in your blood suggests that the cause of thyroid disease is an autoimmune disorder, such as Hashimoto’s disease or Graves’ disease.
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) This test is used to evaluate thyroid function, mainly to see if it is underworking or overworking.
T3 Free (Triiodothyronine) This tests the free T3 level, which is the high potency thyroid hormone.
T4 Free (Thyroxine) This tests the free T4 level, which is the more abundant thyroid hormone.
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
TSH is tested to find out if the thyroid gland is working properly, such as underactive or overactive.T3, Total
Total T3 measurements are used to diagnose and monitor treatment of hyperthyroidism and are essential for recognizing T3 toxicosis.T3, Free
This test is used to diagnose hyperthyroidism and to clarify thyroid status in the presence of a possible protein binding abnormality.T3 Uptake
T3 uptake is an indirect measurement of the available binding sites for the thyroid stimulatory hormones from the brain.T3 Reverse
Having high levels of reverse T3 is known as thyroid resistance and produces symptoms of low thyroid function (hypothyroidism).T4, Total
This test measures the total amount of circulating thyroxine in your blood.T4 Free
Free T4 measures the free, unbound thyroxine levels in your bloodstream.TPO (Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies)
The presence of TPO antibodies in your blood suggests that the cause of thyroid disease is an autoimmune disorder, such as Hashimoto’s disease or Graves’ disease.Thyroglobulin Antibodies
This test measures the amount of thyroglobulin autoimmune antibody in blood. This test is used to evaluate for suspected or known thyroid disorders, including cancer of the thyroid gland or Grave’s disease.TPO and Thyroglobulin AB
Useful in the diagnosis and management of a variety of thyroid disorders including autoimmune thyroiditis, Hashimoto’s Disease, Graves Disease and certain types of goiter.
