Thyroid Test – Essential

If you’re concerned about your thyroid health or are experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, weight fluctuations, or changes in your heart rate, the Thyroid Test – Essential can offer rapid insights. These symptoms can often be subtle and easily overlooked, which is why thyroid screening is a vital component of routine health checks.

TSH is the first-line testing hormone for thyroid health, as abnormal levels can be an indicator of hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. T4 and T3 are measured to further refine the understanding of thyroid function and to help diagnose the specific type of thyroid disorder.
