Labs to test for thyroid function👉👉

This post is for anyone who goes to their annual checkups, gets routine lab tests, and has been told their thyroid is normal…but still has unexplained health issues.

You know something’s not right.

This is not to say that thyroid is the cause in your case (only the tests can say that), but it is to say that routine screenings often only test for TSH and miss thyroid problems.

TSH stands for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, which is the hormone released from the brain to stimulate the thyroid gland to release thyroid hormone (T4). It is only one of several markers of thyroid function.

Other thyroid tests include:

▪️ T4 and free T4

▪️ T3 and free T3 (active hormone)

▪️ Reverse T3 (inactive hormone)

▪️ Antibodies (TPO, Tg, or TRA)

The thyroid gland regulates metabolic rate, gut motility, body temperature, hair, nails, and more.
