What can I expect from Thyroid Full Profile?

This comprehensive test checks the full function of your thyroid gland. It includes central thyroid gland regulation and activity, thyroid production and secretion, peripheral thyroid conversion, and thyroid autoimmunity.

Over 4% of people currently have low thyroid function and do not know about it. It is a notoriously difficult condition to diagnose by symptoms or medical examination.

It is a blood test that gives you a definitive answer and can potentially avoid months, and often years, of unexplained tiredness, weight gain, dry hair, constipation, menstrual problems, depression, anxiety, and more. If your thyroid is overactive there is a whole other set of problems that need treating.

At least 1 in every 8 women will have problems with their thyroid function during their lifetime.

Thyroid stimulating hormone, free T4 and free T3 check the function of your thyroid and thyroglobulin antibodies and thyroid peroxidase antibodies check whether you have an autoimmune condition (known as Hashimoto's thyroiditis) which can be causing your thyroid not to function as it should.

This test is essential for anyone who wants to know more about their thyroid function.

It can be performed on a finger-prick home sample as well as with a phlebotomy sample from any of our nationwide partner locations.

Thyroid (5 health indicators)

Thyroid disorders are common but often remain undiagnosed. If your thyroid isn't functioning properly, it can cause tiredness, mood problems and weight issues.

Antithyroglobulin Antibodies

Antithyroglobulin Antibodies (ATA) test is a laboratory test that measures the levels of antibodies against thyroglobulin in the blood. Thyroglobulin is a protein produced by the thyroid gland, and the presence of antibodies against it indicates an autoimmune response targeting the thyroid.

This test is primarily done to diagnose and monitor autoimmune thyroid diseases, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is characterized by the destruction of thyroid tissue by the immune system, leading to an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). Graves' disease, on the other hand, involves the overproduction of thyroid hormones, resulting in an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).

Measuring ATA levels helps in confirming the presence of these autoimmune conditions and differentiating them from other causes of thyroid dysfunction. It is also useful in assessing the severity of the disease, monitoring treatment effectiveness, and predicting the risk of recurrence or relapse.

Free T3 (triiodothyronine)

The Free T3 test is a blood test that measures the levels of a hormone called triiodothyronine in your body. Triiodothyronine is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland, which is located in your neck. This hormone plays a crucial role in regulating your metabolism, energy levels, and body temperature.

The Free T3 test is often helps determine if you have an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) or an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).

If your Free T3 levels are too high, it may indicate that your thyroid gland is producing too much hormone, leading to symptoms like weight loss, rapid heartbeat, and anxiety. On the other hand, if your Free T3 levels are too low, it may suggest that your thyroid gland is not producing enough hormone, causing symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, and feeling cold all the time.

By measuring your Free T3 levels, doctors can diagnose thyroid disorders and develop a treatment plan to help restore the balance of hormones in your body.

Free T4 (thyroxine)

The Free T4 test is a blood test that measures the level of a hormone called thyroxine in your body. Thyroxine is produced by the thyroid gland and plays a crucial role in regulating your metabolism, energy levels, and growth. This test specifically measures the amount of thyroxine that is not bound to proteins in your blood, which is known as "free" thyroxine.

The Free T4 test is commonly used to check for thyroid problems, such as an overactive or underactive thyroid. If your thyroid is not functioning properly, it can lead to symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, and difficulty concentrating. It can also affect fertility.

By measuring the level of free thyroxine in your blood, you can determine if your thyroid is producing too much or too little hormone.

This test is important because thyroid problems are quite common, affecting millions of people worldwide.

By diagnosing and treating thyroid disorders, you can help improve your overall health and well-being.

Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies

Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (Anti-TPO) are produced by the immune system as a defence mechanism to protect the thyroid against foreign invaders. Autoimmune condition will increase the amount of anti-TPO in the body, attacking healthy thyroid cells. Anti-TPO tests are used to diagnose thyroid disorders and are an indicator for autoimmune conditions, such as Hashimoto’s.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone

The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) test measures the level of TSH in your body. TSH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that helps regulate the thyroid gland, which is responsible for controlling your metabolism.

This test is used to diagnose thyroid problems, such as hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid).

Symptoms of thyroid problems can include fatigue, weight gain or loss, hair loss, and changes in mood or energy levels.

If your TSH levels are too high or too low, it can indicate a problem with your thyroid gland.

How do I read my results?

Laboratory results are provided with reference ranges which are based on the normal test results of a large group of healthy people from the same age group and gender as yourself.

Sometimes, healthy people get results outside the reference range, while people with health problems can have results in the normal range. If your results fall outside the reference range, or if you have symptoms despite a normal result, you may require more testing or wish to discuss the result with your GP.

For simplicity, we provided your results graphically, so they are easy to understand. Any result flagged amber is outside of the standard range. Normal results are in green.

If you see ‘invalid result’ on any of your report pages, it’s nothing to worry about.
