Comprehensive Thyroid Panel for Accurate Thyroid Function Assessment
The General Health Panel Test includes the Full Thyroid Panel Blood Test, a comprehensive set of thyroid function tests designed to measure the level of thyroid hormones and assess overall thyroid health. The thyroid gland regulates how your body uses energy, produces heat, and consumes oxygen. By producing key hormones, the thyroid ensures that your body’s metabolism and other vital functions operate smoothly.
This test is crucial for diagnosing thyroid diseases, such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, by evaluating the production and usage of thyroid hormones. Understanding the balance and levels of these hormones through the General Health Panel Test is essential for maintaining overall health and preventing conditions related to thyroid dysfunction. This panel often includes the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Test to provide detailed insights into thyroid function.

Test Purpose: The purpose of the Full Thyroid Panel Blood Test is to diagnose and monitor thyroid function by measuring key hormones produced by the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormones, including TSH, T4, and T3, are vital for numerous bodily functions, including metabolism, growth, and development. This test is essential for detecting thyroid imbalances that could lead to various health issues, such as osteoporosis, heart disease, infertility, and fatigue. By examining these hormones, healthcare providers can determine if the thyroid is underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism), both of which require specific treatments to restore balance.
What’s Included in this Package
This panel includes five essential thyroid tests
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
TSH tests measure the amount of TSH produced by the pituitary gland, which regulates thyroid hormone production. It acts as a signal to the thyroid gland, instructing it on how much thyroid hormone to produce. Elevated TSH levels can indicate an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), while low TSH levels may suggest an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).
Total T4
Total T4 tests measure the overall level of thyroxine (T4) hormone produced by the thyroid gland. T4 is converted into the more active T3 within cells. Abnormal T4 levels can indicate thyroid dysfunction, guiding further investigation and treatment.
Free T4 (FT4)
Free T4 tests measure the amount of unbound thyroxine in the blood, which is available to enter and affect body tissues. Free T4 is a crucial indicator of thyroid function, helping to diagnose and monitor thyroid disorders
Free T3 (FT3)
Free T3 tests assess the level of triiodothyronine (T3) that is not bound to proteins in the blood and is available to regulate cellular function. T3 is the active form of T4, and its levels provide critical insights into thyroid health and activity.
Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO)
Thyroid antibody tests, specifically for thyroid peroxidase antibodies, help detect autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease. The presence of these antibodies indicates that the immune system is attacking the thyroid gland, leading to inflammation and dysfunction.
