The TH-2. Hashimoto's Disease panel contains 13 tests with 78 biomarkers .
Brief Description: The TH-2 Hashimoto's Disease panel is a comprehensive set of tests designed for the in-depth evaluation of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune disorder that is the most common cause of hypothyroidism. This panel extends beyond basic thyroid function tests to include assessments that evaluate the overall health impact of the disease, offering a holistic view of the patient's condition.
Collection Method: Blood Draw
Specimen Type: Whole Blood and Serum
Test Preparation: Patient should be fasting 9-12 hours prior to collection.
Collection should be done in the morning.
Specifc to TSH: Specimen collection after fluorescein dye angiography should be delayed for at least 3 days. For patients on hemodialysis, specimen collection should be delayed for 2 weeks.
According to the assay manufacturer Siemens: "Samples containing fluorescein can produce falsely depressed values when tested with the Advia Centaur TSH3 Ultra assay."
When and Why the TH-2 Hashimoto's Disease Panel May Be Ordered
Healthcare providers may order the TH-2 Hashimoto's Disease panel for patients presenting symptoms indicative of hypothyroidism, such as fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and dry skin, which could suggest Hashimoto's thyroiditis. It's also valuable for monitoring the disease's progression and the effectiveness of thyroid hormone replacement therapy, as well as identifying potential complications associated with the condition.
What the TH-2 Hashimoto's Disease Panel Checks For
- Complete Blood Count with Differential and Platelets: Provides a comprehensive overview of blood health, identifying anemia and other blood cell abnormalities common in autoimmune disorders.
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel: Assesses kidney and liver function, electrolytes, and glucose levels, offering insights into the metabolic changes that may accompany thyroid disorders.
- Hemoglobin A1c: Measures average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months, important for detecting diabetes or pre-diabetes, which can be more prevalent in individuals with thyroid dysfunction.
- Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity: Evaluates iron status, which can be affected by thyroid disease, potentially leading to anemia.
- Lipid Panel with Ratios: Important for assessing cardiovascular risk, as hypothyroidism can lead to elevated cholesterol levels.
- QuestAssureD Vitamin D Total with D2 and D3: Measures vitamin D levels, which are crucial for bone health and immune function and may be deficient in autoimmune conditions.
- T3 Reverse, T3 Total, T3 Free: Provides detailed information on the different forms of triiodothyronine, helping to assess thyroid hormone metabolism.
- T4 Total, T4 Free: Measures the levels of thyroxine, indicating the thyroid's hormone production, often reduced in Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): A key regulator of thyroid function, elevated TSH levels are a hallmark of hypothyroidism, particularly in Hashimoto's disease.
- Vitamin B12: Assesses B12 levels, important for neurological function and often depleted in autoimmune thyroid disease.
Getting a Deeper Understanding of Your Thyroid Health
While the TH-2 Hashimoto's Disease panel offers a thorough assessment of thyroid function and its broader health implications, the TH-3 and TH-4 panels provide an even more in-depth evaluation, especially focusing on the autoimmune characteristics of the disease.
-
TH-3 Hashimoto's Disease Panel: Enhances the TH-2 panel by including thyroid antibody tests (Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies and Thyroglobulin Antibodies), which are critical for confirming the autoimmune nature of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. The addition of Vitamin B6 further aids in assessing neurological health and metabolic function.
-
TH-4 Hashimoto's Disease Panel: The most comprehensive panel, TH-4, includes all the tests in TH-3 and adds TSH Receptor Binding Antibody and Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin tests, offering insights into more complex and less common aspects of thyroid autoimmunity, providing a complete picture of the disease's impact.
Conditions or Diseases the TH-2 Hashimoto's Disease Panel Can Check For
The TH-2 Hashimoto's Disease panel is primarily used to diagnose and manage Hashimoto's thyroiditis. It helps in detecting hypothyroidism through elevated TSH and potentially low T4 levels. The panel also aids in identifying common complications or coexisting conditions, such as anemia, dyslipidemia, vitamin deficiencies, and metabolic syndrome.
Use of TH-2 Hashimoto's Disease Panel Results by Healthcare Professionals
Healthcare professionals utilize the results of the TH-2 Hashimoto's Disease panel to diagnose Hashimoto's thyroiditis, evaluate the extent of thyroid dysfunction, and monitor the effectiveness of treatment. The comprehensive nature of the panel also allows for the management of associated conditions, ensuring a holistic approach to patient care.
The TH-2 Hashimoto's Disease panel plays a crucial role in the comprehensive assessment and management of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, providing valuable insights into both thyroid function and the broader health impacts of the disease. By offering a wide range of metabolic, nutritional, and hormonal assessments, this panel enables healthcare providers to develop a nuanced understanding of the patient's condition, facilitating tailored treatment strategies. For those requiring further investigation into the autoimmune aspects of the disease, the TH-3 and TH-4 panels offer additional diagnostic capabilities, enhancing the ability to address the complexities of Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
We advise having your results reviewed by a licensed medical healthcare professional for proper interpretation of your results.
