What we test

Thyroid Function Tests - TSH, FT4, FT3

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH): Monitors the thyroid’s activity, helping to maintain balanced hormone production. Abnormal TSH levels can indicate hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.

Free Thyroxine (FT4): Ensures the availability of this vital hormone for conversion into the more active FT3. Low FT4 levels may suggest hypothyroidism, while high levels can indicate hyperthyroidism.

Free Triiodothyronine (FT3): Regulates essential metabolic processes, energy levels, and overall well-being. Abnormal FT3 levels can affect metabolism and energy balance.

Thyroid Antibodies - TPOAb, TGAb

Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPOAb): Indicates autoimmune thyroid disorders like Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease. Elevated TPOAb levels suggest the immune system is attacking the thyroid gland.

Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TGAb): Helps detect autoimmune thyroid disease. Abnormal TGAb levels may indicate thyroid dysfunction or ongoing thyroiditis.
