Thyroid
10 markers in this category
Free T3 (Triiodothyronine)
Free T3 is considered the most active thyroid hormone and may influence your overall metabolism, energy levels, and wellbeing. Healthcare providers often view it as an important indicator of how effectively your body is utilising thyroid hormones.
Free T4 (Thyroxine)
Free T4 is the primary hormone released by the thyroid gland and may serve as a key indicator of overall thyroid function. Healthcare providers often use it alongside TSH to assess whether your thyroid is producing appropriate hormone levels for your body's needs.
Reverse T3
Reverse T3 is an inactive form of the thyroid hormone T3 that may increase during stress or illness. Some healthcare providers consider it a useful marker for understanding how efficiently your body is converting and utilising thyroid hormones.
TPO Antibodies
TPO antibodies may indicate autoimmune activity against the thyroid gland. Testing this marker as part of your proactive health routine can help detect potential thyroid issues before symptoms become apparent. Your healthcare provider can advise on the significance of your results.
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
TSH is the primary indicator of thyroid function and serves as a foundational health marker. Including regular TSH monitoring in your proactive health routine may help detect thyroid changes early, before symptoms become apparent. Your healthcare provider can guide appropriate testing frequency.
TSH Receptor Antibodies
TRAb antibodies target the TSH receptor and are primarily associated with Graves' disease. Including TRAb testing in your health assessment can help detect autoimmune thyroid conditions. Your healthcare provider can advise on whether this test is relevant for your proactive health monitoring plan.
TSI (Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin)
TSI is an antibody that may signal Graves' disease, an autoimmune condition affecting the thyroid. Monitoring TSI can be a valuable part of understanding your overall thyroid health and metabolic wellbeing. Your healthcare provider can offer personalised guidance based on your results.
Thyroglobulin
Thyroglobulin is a protein produced exclusively by the thyroid gland and may serve as a marker of thyroid activity and size. Healthcare providers sometimes include it in comprehensive thyroid assessments to gain a fuller understanding of gland function.
Thyroglobulin Antibodies
Thyroglobulin Antibodies are immune markers that may indicate your immune system is targeting thyroid tissue. Healthcare providers sometimes use them to screen for autoimmune thyroid conditions, which can affect overall health and wellbeing if left undetected.
Total T3 (Triiodothyronine)
Total T3 measures the most active thyroid hormone, triiodothyronine, in your blood. This marker may provide valuable insight into your metabolic health and energy levels. Including T3 testing in your health assessment can help build a comprehensive picture of thyroid function.
