Thyroid Function Test EXPERT
This test package is suitable for individuals interested in assessing the function of their thyroid gland.
The thyroid gland, an endocrine organ, synthesises the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Dysfunctions of this gland can present as local changes in the neck area (goiter), but more prominently as systemic metabolic manifestations due to inadequate or excessive hormone production. Thyroid activity is regulated by hormones secreted by the pituitary gland, including thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).

What´s measured
Thyroid Function Test EXPERT includes
The package is designed to detect specific thyroid disorders, offering an expanded assessment of crucial parameters for diagnosis. This includes thyrotropin hormone (TSH), free thyroxine T4 (fT4), free triiodothyronine T3 (fT3), thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies, thyroglobulin (TG), and thyroglobulin antibodies (anti-TG).
Free thyroxine
Free thyroxine (fT4) is a hormone produced directly in the thyroid gland. In its free form, meaning it's not bound to proteins in the blood, fT4 is responsible for some of the effects of thyroid activity.
Free triiodothyronine
Free triiodothyronine (fT3) represents the active form of triiodothyronine (T3), another hormone synthesised within the thyroid gland. In addition to the thyroid gland, it is also synthesised in other organs such as the liver, kidneys, and spleen.
TSH
TSH (thyrotropin) is a hormone secreted by the cells of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland. In a regulatory capacity, TSH influences the metabolism of thyroid cells as well as the production and secretion of thyroid hormones. Anti TG stands for anti-thyroglobulin antibodies.
Thyroglobulin
Thyroglobulin (TG) is a protein that serves as a substrate for the synthesis of the thyroid hormones T4 and T3. The development of immunoglobulins (products of white blood cells) against thyroglobulin signifies the initiation of autoimmune inflammation in the thyroid gland. This can lead to thyroid dysfunction of varying nature and severity.
Anti TG
Testing for anti-thyroglobulin antibodies (anti-TG) is recommended along with thyroglobulin testing.
Anti TPO
Anti TPO stands for anti-thyroperoxidase antibodies. They are immunoglobulins (products of white blood cells) directed against an enzyme called thyroperoxidase, and are associated with autoimmune thyroid disorders.
Notice
The definitive diagnosis is determined by a physician, based on further tests.
