Importance of Thyroid Check Up

The thyroid is a small but mighty gland at the base of your neck. It’s a key hormone responsible for managing metabolism, energy, and hormonal equilibrium. When it doesn’t work right, it can set off major health problems.

 

Thyroid screening is crucial for early detection of potential disorders, especially those with a family history of thyroid disorders or unexplained symptoms such as weight fluctuations, fatigue, mood changes, etc.

 

What are the test inclusions of Medi Linx Thyroid LabCheQ?

• FT4 (Free Thyroxine): This test measures the amount of thyroid hormone in your blood, essential for regulating your metabolism.
• FT3 (Free Triiodothyronine): A vital thyroid hormone that dictates how quickly your body burns energy.
• Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): It is a hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that induces the production of hormones from the thyroid. Higher or lower levels can signal thyroid problems.

 

FAQs

What if a person has thyroid problems?

Thyroid problems can influence metabolism, mood, energy, and weight. If they’re not addressed, it can contribute to conditions such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), which can produce long-term health problems.

 

Which lifestyle leads to thyroid disease?

Conditions that cause thyroid gland dysregulation can be multifactorial: stress, poor diet, low levels of physical activity, and lack of iodine.

 

What is the way to lower thyroid levels?

In general, treatment for the condition with high thyroid levels (hyperthyroidism) involves medications, lifestyle adjustments, and sometimes surgery. You should seek medical advice to treat yourself according to your test results.

 

Your doctor may request CBC, Liver Function Tests (ALT, AST, ALP, GGT), Renal Function Tests (BUN, Creatinine, Electrolytes), Lipid Profile, FBS Fasting Blood Glucose, HbA1c, Anti-TPO antibodies (Anti-thyroid peroxidase antibodies) and Anti-thyroglobulin antibodies along with Thyroid LabCheQ to assess your overall health, as well as thyroid function, autoimmune status and systemic health.
