Thyroid Function
The thyroid plays an important role in the human body. It helps control how quickly the body uses energy and makes proteins. The thyroids job is to produce thyroid hormones which is secreted into the blood and then carried to every tissue in the body. Deficiency of your thyroid levels can lead to various ailments. Listed below is a few that can cause concern.
- Increased heart rate
- Weight loss or weight gain
- Tiredness or weakness
- Being too hot or too cold
- Anxiety
- Irregular or frequent menstrual periods
TSH is a thyroid stimulating hormone. Hormonal output from the thyroid is regulated by this hormone. TSH causes the thyroid gland to make 2 hormones which helps to control your body’s metabolism. These hormones are known as T3 and T4. TSH levels can help determine why the dysfunction is occurring, whether it is due to a damaged thyroid gland or a problem with the pituitary. T3 and T4 are usually ordered with a TSH. They have been used for many years to help diagnose hyperthyroidism(overactive gland) and hypothyroidism (under-active gland).
There are many ways to treat hyper or hypothyroidism. Establishing a baseline for your levels is important to determine appropriate treatment.

The Thyroid Profile is an important test for evaluating thyroid function. The profile is a three part measurement of triiodothyronine (T3 Uptake) and thyroxine (T4) which is frequently ordered with TSH.

The thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) blood test is used to check for thyroid gland problems, frequently ordered with the Thyroid Profile to measure levels and ratio of of T3 and T4.

Measurements of free triiodothyronine (Free T3) levels are not be affected by certain protein levels, remaining more constant, and therefore correlating more reliably with the true concentration of T3 levels in the blood.

Lab Price: $288.00
Our Price: $129.00
The free thyroxine (T4) blood test is not affected by protein levels and is therefore a more reliable measurement of T4 levels in the blood.
|
The T3 blood test assesses both free and bound T3 to help determine what may be causing an abnormal thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) test.
|
Diminished serum T3 levels (the most biologically-active thyroid hormone) are thought to reflect altered thyroid homeostasis as a mechanism of adapting to severe illness.
