Assess thyroid function and indicate abnormal thyroid activity.

Our Thyroid Function Test checks the three key Thyroid Function hormones to confirm normal thyroid function and indicate an overactive or underactive thyroid.

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in your neck. The thyroid produces hormones which act on other parts of the body to influence and regulate their metabolism (energy usage) as well as a host of other functions.

When your body releases too much thyroid hormone (Hyperthyroidism – an overactive thyroid) or too little (Hypothyroidism – an underactive thyroid) then some cells and tissues in your body work faster or slower than they should do resulting in symptoms such as palpitations and excessive sweating or tiredness and weight gain.

Thyroid disorders affect one in twenty people in the UK. Are you one of them?

Description

This test panel tests for two key Thyroid hormones; Free thyroxine which directly increases metabolism, and TSH which is released by the pituitary gland to regulate thyroxine production, the test measures your blood levels for the two key thyroid hormones; Free thyroxine and TSH. Precisely measuring these biomarkers with a clinical test gives a reliable view of your thyroid function and ability to regulate your metabolism.

If you are taking thyroid replacement medication, such as levothyroxine, or anti-thyroid medication such as carbimazole or propylthiouracil, then this test can be used to assess the response to this treatment and any necessary adjustments can be made. Please note that the test will require interpretation by your doctor prior to any medication changes.
