More on the Panel and What's Measured :
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
TSH plays an important role in metabolism, energy, and overall hormone balance. It regulates thyroid function by signaling the thyroid to produce hormones. High TSH may indicate hypothyroidism and a low TSH may indicate hyperthyroidism.
Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO)
Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO)
TPO (Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies) are antibodies that target thyroid peroxidase, an enzyme in the thyroid gland that helps produce thyroid hormones. High TPO antibodies may indicate an autoimmune thyroid disorder.
T-4 (Total Thyroxine)
T-4 (Total Thyroxine)
T-4 or Total Thyroxine measures the total concentration of thyroxine in the blood, including both protein-bound and free hormone. Used to assess overall thyroid hormone production but can be influenced by changes in binding protein levels.
Free T-4 (Free Thyroxine)
Free T-4 (Free Thyroxine)
Free T-4 or Free Thyroxine measures the unbound, biologically active form of thyroxine in the blood. Provides a more accurate reflection of thyroid function, especially in conditions affecting thyroid hormone-binding proteins.
Tg-Ab (Thyroglobulin Antibodies)
Tg-Ab (Thyroglobulin Antibodies)
Tg-Ab is a test that detects antibodies against thyroglobulin, a precursor protein in thyroid hormone synthesis. Used to aid in the diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid diseases and to monitor patients with differentiated thyroid cancer, particularly when antibodies may interfere with thyroglobulin measurement.
