The
thyroid controls how quickly the body burns energy, makes protein, and
how sensitive the body should be to other hormones. The TSH test is used
to evaluate thyroid function and to aid in the discovery of either an
overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) or an underactive thyroid
(hypothyroidism). The test is frequently conducted in advance of
physician ordered T3 and T4 testing when thyroid abnormalities are
discovered. TSH testing is also used at regular intervals to monitor the
effectiveness of treatment for a thyroid disorder.
A few common symptoms of an underactive thyroid include:
- Weight gain
- Fatigue
- Depression
- Dry Skin
- Cold Intolerance
- Hair Loss
- Forgetfulness
A few of the common symptoms of an overactive thyroid are:
- Weight Loss
- Nervousness
- Fatigue
- Heat Intolerance
- Muscle Weakness
- Insomnia
- Heart Palpitations
Biological Risk Factors for Thyroid disease include:
- Known thyroid disorder
- Goiter
- Diabetes
- Anemia
- Premature Gray Hair
Family History Risk Factors include:
-
Diabetes
- Pernicious Anemia
- Thyroid Disease
- Primary Adrenal Insufficiency
The TSH Thyroid
Screening Test provides the same results that can be obtained from your
local medical laboratory without the high cost and inconvenience of
doctors appointments, laboratory fees, and often painful and unnecessary
procedure of direct venous or arterial blood draws. This test is
conveniently performed at home, takes less than ten minutes, and results
are obtained in approximately the same time as those routinely ordered
through a physician.
Complete
instructions are enclosed, and sample collection is quite easy and
virtually painless. A single finger nick using the enclosed lancet is all
it takes to obtain the sample needed. Simply deposit the drops of blood
on the collection card and wait 15 minutes for it to dry. Then place the
card in the enclosed postage paid return envelope along with your completed Laboratory Authorization Form, and drop in the nearest US mailbox.
After your sample
is analyzed at the Laboratory, you will receive a report by return mail
that clearly indicate if the test is normal or a follow up with a health care provider is needed. Early detection of irregularities greatly increases your
chances for successful treatment.
Expect to receive your test results within two weeks from when your test is received by the Laboratory.
