Thyroid hormones
Triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) are two of the main hormones produced by the thyroid. Their release is regulated by the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone or TSH. Alterations to TSH levels are indicative of early thyroid malfunction, as elevated TSH levels suggest insufficient amounts of T3 and T4 are produced.
Both T3 and T4 exist in two forms: the protein bound form and the free form. The free form represents the biologically active fraction of these hormones. Free T4 (fT4) levels are used to diagnose both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. Free T3 (fT3) levels are often used to diagnose hyperthyroidism where too much thyroid hormone is produced.
Thyroid antibodies
Thyroid antibody tests are used to autoimmune thyroid disorders. The presence of thyroid antibodies in your blood can indicate that your immune system is attacking the thyroid. Individuals with Grave’s disease produce antibodies against the TPO enzyme. Those with Hashimoto disease have elevated levels of both Tg and TPO antibodies.
Overproduction of thyroid hormones or hyperthyroidism can lead to:
- Weight loss
- Fatigue
- Irregular periods
- Sleep loss
- Goiters
Underproduction of thyroid hormones (hypothyroidism) is linked to
- Weight gain
- Fatigue
- Low heartbeat
- Dry skin
- Impaired memory
This test allows you to monitor your thyroid function the privacy of your own home. It is useful for detecting and monitoring the production of thyroid hormones if you are concerned about the health of your thyroid or are experiencing symptoms associated with hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. It may also be used to monitor the effectiveness of thyroid disorder treatment options.
