The TH-2. Hyperthyroidism panel contains 13 tests with 78 biomarkers .
Brief Description: The TH-2 Hyperthyroidism panel is a comprehensive diagnostic tool designed to assess the function of the thyroid gland and identify conditions leading to hyperthyroidism. It goes beyond basic thyroid hormone assessments to include a wide range of tests that evaluate the overall health and potential complications associated with hyperthyroidism.
Collection Method: Blood Draw
Specimen Type: Whole Blood and Serum
Test Preparation: Patient should be fasting 9-12 hours prior to collection.
Collection should be done in the morning.
Specifc to TSH: Specimen collection after fluorescein dye angiography should be delayed for at least 3 days. For patients on hemodialysis, specimen collection should be delayed for 2 weeks.
According to the assay manufacturer Siemens: "Samples containing fluorescein can produce falsely depressed values when tested with the Advia Centaur TSH3 Ultra assay."
When and Why the TH-2 Hyperthyroidism Panel May Be Ordered
The TH-2 Hyperthyroidism panel is typically ordered for individuals exhibiting symptoms of hyperthyroidism, such as unexplained weight loss, rapid heartbeat, increased appetite, anxiety, and heat intolerance. It's also used to monitor the effectiveness of treatments in patients with known hyperthyroid conditions and to evaluate the potential systemic effects of hyperthyroidism on the body.
What the TH-2 Hyperthyroidism Panel Checks For
- Complete Blood Count with Differential and Platelets: Assesses the overall health of the blood cells, which can be affected by hyperthyroidism, leading to conditions like anemia.
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel: Evaluates kidney and liver function, electrolytes, glucose, and calcium levels, which can be impacted by hyperthyroidism.
- Hemoglobin A1c: Measures average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months, useful for detecting or monitoring diabetes, a condition that can be exacerbated by hyperthyroidism.
- Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity: Assesses iron stores and transport in the body, which can be disrupted by thyroid dysfunction.
- Lipid Panel with Ratios: Provides insight into cholesterol levels, which can be affected by thyroid function, with hyperthyroidism often leading to lower cholesterol levels.
- QuestAssureD Vitamin D Total with D2 and D3: Measures levels of vitamin D, crucial for bone health and immune function, which can be influenced by thyroid status.
- T3 Reverse, T3 Total, T3 Free: These tests provide a comprehensive view of the active and inactive forms of triiodothyronine, helping to understand thyroid hormone metabolism.
- T4 Total, T4 Free: Assess the levels of thyroxine, providing insights into the thyroid gland's output, with hyperthyroidism typically resulting in elevated levels.
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): A primary test for thyroid function, where decreased levels are indicative of hyperthyroidism due to negative feedback on the pituitary gland.
- Vitamin B12: Essential for nerve health and red blood cell formation, B12 levels can be affected by thyroid disease and its treatment.
Getting a Deeper Understanding of Your Thyoid Health
While the TH-2 Hyperthyroidism panel offers a broad overview of thyroid function and its systemic impacts, the TH-3 and TH-4 panels provide deeper insights, particularly into the autoimmune aspects of thyroid disease.
-
TH-3 Hyperthyroidism Panel: Adds thyroid antibody tests, such as Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies and Thyroglobulin Antibodies, which are essential for diagnosing autoimmune thyroid conditions like Graves' disease. The inclusion of Vitamin B6 further aids in assessing neurological health and metabolic function.
-
TH-4 Hyperthyroidism Panel: The most comprehensive, TH-4 includes all tests in TH-3 and introduces TSH Receptor Binding Antibody and Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin tests, specific for Graves' disease and other autoimmune thyroid disorders, providing a thorough assessment of the disease's etiology and guiding treatment.
Conditions or Diseases the TH-2 Hyperthyroidism Panel Can Check For
The TH-2 Hyperthyroidism panel is designed to diagnose hyperthyroidism and assess its effects on the body. It can help identify Graves' disease, toxic nodular goiter, and thyroiditis by evaluating thyroid hormone levels and their impact on metabolic functions. The panel also aids in detecting and managing complications associated with hyperthyroidism, such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.
Use of TH-2 Hyperthyroidism Panel Results by Healthcare Professionals
Healthcare professionals use the results from the TH-2 Hyperthyroidism panel to diagnose hyperthyroidism, identify its cause, and evaluate its systemic effects. Elevated thyroid hormones with suppressed TSH typically confirm hyperthyroidism. The comprehensive metabolic assessments help manage related conditions, ensuring a holistic approach to treatment and monitoring.
The TH-2 Hyperthyroidism panel is a valuable diagnostic tool for evaluating hyperthyroidism and its broader health implications. By assessing thyroid function in conjunction with metabolic and nutritional status, healthcare providers can gain a holistic view of the patient's health, guiding effective treatment strategies. For those requiring further evaluation, particularly in autoimmune thyroid diseases, the TH-3 and TH-4 panels offer additional diagnostic capabilities to tailor treatment approaches more precisely.
We advise having your results reviewed by a licensed medical healthcare professional for proper interpretation of your results.
