THYROID PROFILE - ADVANCE

Indication: Measures TSH secreted by the pituitary gland. Why it's needed: Primary test for detecting hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.

Indication: Assesses thyroid function—especially in suspected hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Why it's needed: Measures active, unbound T4 hormone to give a clearer picture than total T4.

Indication: Used in conjunction with FT4 and TSH to assess thyroid hormone levels. Why it's needed: FT3 is especially useful in detecting hyperthyroidism or assessing T3-toxicosis.

Indication: Detects autoimmune thyroid disorders like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease. Why it's needed: Elevated levels signal immune attack on the thyroid, helping guide diagnosis and treatment of thyroid dysfunction.

Indication: Evaluates thyroid gland function. Why it's needed: Diagnoses hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism by analyzing T3, T4, and TSH hormone levels

Indication: A protein produced by the thyroid gland. Why it's needed: Used to monitor thyroid cancer after treatment and assess thyroid gland function or inflammation.

Indication: Measures active thyroid hormone in blood. Why it's needed: Useful for diagnosing hyperthyroidism or evaluating thyroid treatment response.

Indication: Measures the inactive form of thyroid hormone. Why it's needed: Helps evaluate thyroid function, especially when combined with TSH.

Indication: Assists in diagnosing autoimmune thyroid disease. Why it's needed: Commonly ordered with Anti-TPO to assess thyroid inflammation or post-thyroid cancer follow-up
