Our Thyroid Panel is used both to aid in early detection of thyroid diseases and disorders as well as to monitor how well treatment of thyroid disease is working.

Includes 4 exams

(TSH) Thyroid Stimulating Hormone:

TSH is a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland. TSH tells the thyroid gland to make thyroid hormones. Measuring the levels of TSH in the blood is used to evaluate thyroid function and diagnose and monitor thyroid abnormalities and disease.

(T4 Total) Thyroxine:

Thyroxine is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. If the thyroid gland is under active and does not produce enough T4, then the patient can experience symptoms such as weight gain, dry skin, cold intolerance, irregular menstruation, and fatigue. If the thyroid gland is overactive and produces too much T4, the patient can experience symptoms such as increased heart rate, anxiety, weight loss, difficulty sleeping, and tremors in the hands.

T3 Uptake:

This test can help interpret T4 and T3 results and measures the level of proteins that carry the thyroid hormone in the blood.
