Healthy thyroid function is essential for your overall health. See if yours is functioning as it should.

The thyroid gland is a vital hormone gland that helps regulate many different processes around the body. When thyroid hormones are out of balance, multiple body systems are affected. Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid produces too many hormones and speeds up processes around the body, including increased body temperature, heart rate, and digestion. Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormones, and processes around the body slow down, including a slower heart rate, a constant feeling of cold, and slower digestion leading to constipation.

Why consider this test?

This test can help diagnose hyperthyroidism (over-active thyroid) and hypothyroidism (under-active thyroid), as well as autoimmune conditions (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease) and thyroid carcinomas.

Undiagnosed thyroid issues increases the risk of multiple health complications, including osteoporosis, heart problems, skin problems, mental health issues, infertility, and birth defects.

Most thyroid health issues can be effectively managed to avoid additional health complications.

What increases your risk of thyroid problems?

Being female (5-8x more likely to have thyroid issues)

Over age 60

Recent pregnancy

Autoimmune disease (e.g. type 1 diabetes)

Personal history of thyroid issues (e.g. goiter)

Family history of thyroid disease

What’s included in the Complete Thyroid Health Test?

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is a hormone produced in the pituitary gland that signals the production of thyroid hormones. Healthy adults typically have TSH levels within a reference range of 0.3-4.5 mIU/L. Abnormal TSH levels can indicate tumors of the pituitary, thyroid hormone resistance, hypothyroidism, or hyperthyroidism.

Free Thyroxine
Thyroxine (T4) is the major hormone produced by the thyroid gland. Free T4 is the biologically active form of T4, but is still relatively inactive. It is converted to a much more active hormone called triiodothyronine (T3) in the liver and other tissues. Free T4 analysis is an important part of monitoring thryoid function, as any changes in thyroid hormone production will be reflected in free T4 levels before free T3 levels are affected.

Free Triiodothyronine
Triiodothyronine (T3) is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland, usually through conversion of thyroxine (T4) to T3. Free T3 is the biologically active form of T3. T3 and T4 help to control how your body stores and uses energy (metabolism). Thyroid hormones also help control many of your body’s other processes.

Thyroglobulin Antibodies
Thyroglobulin is a protein produced from cells in the thyroid gland. Thyroglobulin antibodies (anti-Tg) are elevated when the body’s own immune system attacks the thyroid and targets thyroglobulin. This commonly occurs in autoimmune disorders, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease, and also occurs in 30-60% of thyroid carcinoma cases.

Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies
Thyroid peroxidase is a protein produced from cells in the thyroid gland. Thyroid peroxidase antibodies (anti-TPO) are elevated when the body’s own immune system attacks the thyroid and targets thyroid peroxidase. This commonly occurs in autoimmune disorders, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease, often (but not always) in conjunction with elevated anti-Tg.
