This triple investigation looks in detail at your thyroid function, your general health that complements thyroid activity, your DNA that controls your thyroid's 'behaviour' and seeks any food intolerances that may be disrupting your overall body's functioning.
Do you have symptoms affecting your mood, energy levels, skin and hair quality? Do you feel you are suffering from extreme anxiety or are under considerable stress? Is your heart racing? Are you gaining or losing weigh, suffering for abdominal pain? Do you need to monitor your treatment regime?
Blood will need to be taken between 8am and 10am for a more reliable or useful measurement of Cortisol in particular.
This Total Thyroid Investigation includes 3 different testing elements, read below to find out what each test reports on:
Thyroid Premium Platinum Profil
Our most comprehensive thyroid profile yet. The Thyroid Premium Platinum profile looks in detail at your thyroid gland via the classically tested components of thyroid function found in the Gold profile, essential for both diagnosis of thyroid disorders and for monitoring of any treatment regimes. Test inclusions - Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Free Triiodothyronine (FT3), Total Thyroxine (T4) and Free Thyroxine (TF4), Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO antibodies) and Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TG antibodies) – but with the added excitement too of Reverse T3, beloved by Functional Medicine and Naturopathic Practitioners. Moreover, for your general health investigation, levels of Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Folate, Ferritin, CRP and the gold standard test for diabetes – HbA1c – are also included. The Blue Horizon laboratory team have gone a little bit further than our rivals - for no extra charge Serum Cortisol and Serum Magnesium are now also included in this profile (and the whole thyroid Premium range). It is widely reported that high cortisol levels can affect thyroid function, and vice versa. Magnesium has a particularly important role in the conversion of FT4 to FT3.
