Thyroid Full Profile
Analyze your thyroid gland function to check for common causes of dysfunction, providing insights into your overall health and hormonal balance.
The Thyroid Full Profile is a comprehensive test that evaluates the complete function of your thyroid gland. It assesses central regulation and activity, thyroid production and secretion, peripheral conversion, and thyroid autoimmunity.
More than 4% of people have low thyroid function without realizing it, making it notoriously challenging to diagnose based on symptoms alone. This blood test offers a definitive answer, potentially saving you from months or even years of unexplained fatigue, weight gain, dry hair, constipation, menstrual issues, depression, anxiety, and more. Conversely, an overactive thyroid can lead to a different set of health concerns requiring treatment.
Approximately 1 in 8 women will experience thyroid function problems in their lifetime. This test measures thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free T4, and free T3 to check thyroid function. It also tests for thyroglobulin antibodies and thyroid peroxidase antibodies to identify autoimmune conditions, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which may impair thyroid function.
This test is essential for anyone seeking to understand their thyroid health. It can be performed using a finger-prick home sample or a phlebotomy sample from any of our nationwide partner locations.
