“Thyroid Panel, Basic” is a set of laboratory tests that helps evaluate thyroid gland function, detect potential hormonal imbalances, and provide basic information about thyroid activity.

The panel includes the following indicators:

• Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) - a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that regulates thyroid function.
• Total thyroxine (tT4) - one of the main hormones produced by the thyroid gland that regulates metabolism.
• Total triiodothyronine (tT3) - reflects the total level of T3 in the blood and helps assess thyroid function.

This test panel allows the physician to quickly evaluate basic thyroid function and, if needed, recommend additional testing.

Indications

• symptoms of hypo- or hyperthyroidism (fatigue, weight changes, drowsiness, irritability)
• enlarged thyroid gland
• hair loss, dry skin
• menstrual cycle disorders
• pregnancy planning
• monitoring of previously diagnosed thyroid conditions

Procedure

• venous blood collection in the procedure room
• procedure duration - a few minutes
• generally well tolerated by patients

If you experience any pain or exacerbation of a condition, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional for diagnostic tests and proper treatment. Only a qualified specialist can make an accurate diagnosis and determine appropriate treatment. To obtain the most accurate and consistent evaluation of test results, it is recommended to conduct them in the same laboratory. This is because different laboratories may use different methods and units of measurement for similar tests.
