Thyroid Disorder Monitoring Test Panel – Ongoing – Men’s

Have you been advised to monitor your thyroid hormone levels for a known thyroid disorder? Choose the Thyroid Disorder Monitoring, Ongoing Test Panel to measure key hormones in thyroid function during treatment.

What

This test measures the level of thyroid-stimulating hormone

TSH
Thyroxine (T4) in your blood.

How

Type of sample to be collected:

Blood (venipuncture—a needle is used to draw blood from a vein)

About the Test

Thyroid Disorder Monitoring, Ongoing Test Panel measures the levels of TSH and T4 in your blood. These markers help determine whether your current treatment plan is working properly for your thyroid disease. This test is intended as an additional follow-up to our Thyroid Disorder Monitoring, Initial Test Panel.

This testing option is intended for patients with a known thyroid function disorder and may be recommended by a PWN physician as a follow-up to our Thyroid Disorder Monitoring, Initial Test Panel once treatment has started.

PLEASE NOTE

Noticeable changes in your metabolism (weight, temperature, and energy) may be a sign or symptom that there is too much or too little TSH in your blood. If TSH levels are too high or too low, this may indicate your thyroid is overactive (hyperthyroidism) or underactive (hypothyroidism). With this test panel, TSH and T4 blood levels are measured to help accurately determine whether your treatment dosage is providing the correct level of support.

This panel does NOT test for thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies in your blood.

Is This Test Right For Me?

These testing options are intended for patients with a known Thyroid function disorder and may be recommended by a PWN physician as a follow-up to our Thyroid Function Risk test once treatment has started.

What’s Tested

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck. Thyroid function is controlled by the pituitary gland, which produces TSH in the blood. TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones (T3 and T4). TSH will also tell the body to make or release thyroid hormones. This process determines how quickly your body uses energy, makes proteins, and controls other important functions:

Body temperature
Heart rate
Breathing Skin Moisture
Muscle contraction
Weight gain or loss
Brain development
Cholesterol levels
Menstruation
Nervous system function

Our Thyroid Disorder Monitoring: Ongoing test panel measures the levels of TSH and T4 in the blood to help evaluate thyroid function. Low levels of TSH in the blood may indicate an overactive thyroid gland, commonly referred to as hyperthyroidism. High levels of TSH in the blood may indicate an underactive thyroid gland, commonly referred to as hypothyroidism. Both conditions may require medical treatment. Thyroid disorders can affect any system of your body and treatment will depend on the specific thyroid condition. An undiagnosed thyroid disorder may put you at risk for cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, infertility, and other serious conditions but most thyroid conditions can be managed with medication.
