The Thyroid Health - Basic Lab Panel panel contains 4 tests with 8 biomarkers.
The Thyroid Health - Basic lab panel contains four tests that measure six biomarkers to assess thyroid function. The first test, T4 (Thyroxine), Total, measures the amount of thyroxine in the blood. The second test, T4, Free, measures the amount of free thyroxine in the blood. The third test, TSH, measures the level of thyroid stimulating hormone in the blood. The fourth test, T3 Uptake, measures the uptake of triiodothyronine by the thyroid gland. This panel is important for assessing thyroid function and can help diagnose thyroid disorders.
The Thyroid Health - Basic lab panel includes:
Consider the Thyroid Health - Advanced Lab panel, which includes additional T3 Total T3, Free, T3 Reverse (RT3), Thyroid Peroxidase, and Thyroglobulin Antibodies tests for a more comprehensive picture of your thyroid health. Consider the Thyroid Health - Comprehensive lab panel, which includes all of the tests in the advanced panel as well as TBG (Thyroxine Binding Globulin) and TSI (Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin).
