Essential Thyroid Profile

Overview:

Thyroid dysfunction can explain a wide variety of symptoms because of the central role of thyroid hormones in directing the metabolic activity of cells. A properly regulated thyroid is essential to a wide array of biochemical processes in the body. This profile can help detect both overt and subclinical thyroid disease, as well as monitor thyroid replacement therapy. The Essential Thyroid Profile provides an assessment of thyroid health, including screening for hypo or hyperthyroidism, determining Free T4 and Free T3 levels, testing for autoimmune thyroid disease, and monitoring thyroid replacement dosages.
