Thyroid Panel (Add-On)

Additional thyroid biomarkers including: T3, T4, reverse T3, TPO and TP antibodies. TSH is included in the core panel.

NOTE: Please order the core program first and add this panel. The core program contains key base biomarkers. This panel adds markers that provides information about thyroid and gut function.

The thyroid panel add-on provides detailed information on how your thyroid is function at a fundamental level. The components of the thyroid panel include:

  • Free T3 (key hormone)
  • Free T4 (key hormone)
  • Reverse T3 (indicator of hormone absorption)
  • Thyroglobulin (TP) antibody
  • Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibody

Adding these markers help in performing a proper diagnosis of:

  1. Hashimoto’s disease
  2. Thyroid insufficiency
  3. Autoimmunity / periodontal infection / other infection creating an autoimmune response
  4. Gut health / leaky gut
  5. Liver function
  6. Malabsorption syndrome

The core panel includes the TSH biomarker.

 

Research

Hashimoto thyroiditis, also known as chronic autoimmune thyroiditis and chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, is an autoimmune disease in which thyroid cells are destroyed via cell and antibody-mediated immune processes. It is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in developed countries. In contrast, the most common cause of hypothyroidism worldwide is an inadequate dietary intake of iodine.

The pathophysiology of Hashimoto thyroiditis involves the formation of antithyroid antibodies that attack the thyroid tissue, causing progressive fibrosis. The diagnosis can be challenging, and consequently, the condition is sometimes not diagnosed until late in the disease process. The most common laboratory findings demonstrate elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and low thyroxine (T4) levels, coupled with increased antithyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) antibodies. This activity reviews the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of Hashimoto thyroiditis and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in caring for patients with this condition.
