What can I expect from this Thyroid Function - Diagnosis and Monitoring?

The purpose of this profile is to check the thyroid gland’s function. Thyroid disorders are common but often remain undiagnosed. By checking your Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and Free T4 (FT4) levels, you can determine whether your thyroid is functioning normally.

This test can determine if you have a thyroid gland that is underactive (hypothyroidism) or too active (hyperthyroidism), which can lead to fatigue, mood swings, and weight gain.

Identifying conditions of this test

Thyroid

Thyroid (2 Biomarkers)

Thyroid disorders are common but often remain undiagnosed. If your thyroid isn't functioning properly it can cause tiredness, mood problems and weight issues.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) are made by the pituitary gland in the brain to stimulate the thyroid gland (located by the throat). The hormones that are produced are used to regulate weight, body temperature and muscle strength. Levels of TSH are measured as it is an indicator of thyroid disease and is commonly tested with Free T4 and Free T3.

Free T4 (throxine)

Free T4 (free thyroxine) is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. This hormone is involved in several body functions including metabolism and growth. It can be used for the diagnosis of thyroid diseases such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism as well as aiding the diagnosis of female infertility problems. Free T4 is commonly tested with Free T3 and TSH.
