+ What is the thyroid panel?
The test, called a thyroid function test, looks at levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroxine (T4) in the blood. Your test results will measure your levels of three main thyroid hormones - Free T4, Free T3, and TSH - plus thyroid peroxidase antibodies. These circulating thyroid hormones have an impact on many functions of the body. By measuring your levels of each, you can understand if you may be experiencing thyroid dysfunction in the form of hyper-thyrodism or hypothyroidism.
+ What is hyperthyroidism?
Hyperthyroidism is the production of too much thyroxine hormone. Symptoms include unexpected weight loss, rapid or irregular heartbeat, sweating, and irritability.
+ What is hypothyroidism?
Hypothyroidism is the condition in which the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough thyroid hormone. Hypothyroidism's deficiency of thyroid hormones can disrupt such things as heart rate, body temperature, and all aspects of metabolism, and is most prevalent in older women. Key symptoms include fatigue, cold sensitivity, constipation, dry skin, and unexplained weight gain.
