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.

Reverse T3

RT3 is an inactive form of the thyroid hormone T3, created when the body converts T4 into RT3 during times of stress or illness. It competes with active T3, reducing its metabolic effects. Elevated RT3 can indicate the body is conserving energy, often seen in conditions like hypothyroidism or chronic stress, despite normal thyroid hormone levels.
