The TH-4. Hyperthyroidism panel contains 17 tests with 83 biomarkers .
Brief Description: The TH-4 Hyperthyroidism panel is an exhaustive diagnostic array designed to evaluate hyperthyroidism comprehensively, with a particular focus on autoimmune thyroid diseases such as Graves' disease. It encompasses a broad spectrum of tests that assess thyroid function, autoimmune markers, metabolic health, and nutritional status, providing a holistic view of the patient's condition.
Collection Method: Blood Draw
Specimen Type: Whole Blood, Serum, and Plasma
Test Preparation: Patient should be fasting 9-12 hours prior to collection.
Patient must be restricted from alcohol and vitamins for at least 24 hours before a sample 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-4 Hyperthyroidism Panel May Be Ordered
Healthcare providers typically order the TH-4 Hyperthyroidism panel for individuals exhibiting symptoms of hyperthyroidism, such as weight loss, palpitations, increased appetite, anxiety, and heat intolerance. This panel is particularly valuable for diagnosing autoimmune thyroid disorders, assessing the extent of hyperthyroidism, monitoring the effectiveness of treatment, and identifying potential complications and coexisting conditions related to or influenced by hyperthyroidism.
What the TH-4 Hyperthyroidism Panel Checks For
- Complete Blood Count with Differential and Platelets: Evaluates the overall health of blood cells, which can be affected by hyperthyroidism, leading to conditions like anemia.
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel: Assesses kidney and liver function, electrolyte and acid/base balance, and glucose levels, providing insights into the metabolic effects of hyperthyroidism.
- Hemoglobin A1c: Measures average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months, crucial for identifying or managing diabetes, which can coexist with thyroid disorders.
- Iron and Total Iron Binding Capacity: Investigates iron status, important for diagnosing anemia that can be related to hyperthyroidism.
- Lipid Panel with Ratios: Assesses cholesterol levels, which can be impacted by thyroid function, with hyperthyroidism often leading to lower cholesterol levels.
- QuestAssureD Vitamin D Total with D2 and D3: Measures vitamin D levels, essential for bone health and immune function, which can be influenced by thyroid status.
- T3 Reverse, T3 Total, T3 Free, T4 Total, T4 Free: Provide a comprehensive assessment of thyroid hormone levels and metabolism, crucial for diagnosing and managing hyperthyroidism.
- Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPOAb) and Thyroglobulin Antibodies (TgAb): Essential for diagnosing autoimmune thyroid diseases, where these antibodies can be elevated.
- TSH Receptor Binding Antibody (TRAb): Helps in distinguishing Graves' disease from other forms of hyperthyroidism by indicating an immune response targeting the TSH receptor.
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): A key regulator of thyroid function, with decreased levels indicative of hyperthyroidism.
- Thyroid Stimulating Immunoglobulin (TSI): Assesses the presence of antibodies that stimulate the thyroid, characteristic of Graves' disease.
- Vitamin B12 and Vitamin B6: Assess levels of these vitamins, important for neurological function and energy metabolism, which can be impacted by thyroid disease.
Conditions or Diseases the TH-4 Hyperthyroidism Panel Can Check For
The TH-4 Hyperthyroidism panel is designed to diagnose and manage hyperthyroidism, particularly Graves' disease, and to distinguish it from other thyroid conditions. It also aids in identifying and managing potential complications such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes, which can be associated with or exacerbated by hyperthyroidism.
Use of TH-4 Hyperthyroidism Panel Results by Healthcare Professionals
Healthcare professionals use the results of the TH-4 Hyperthyroidism panel to diagnose hyperthyroidism, identify its autoimmune etiology, evaluate the severity of the disease, and monitor the effectiveness of treatment. The comprehensive nature of the panel also allows for the identification and management of complications and associated conditions, ensuring a holistic approach to patient care.
The TH-4 Hyperthyroidism panel provides a thorough assessment of hyperthyroidism, offering critical insights into thyroid function, autoimmune status, and the broader health impacts of thyroid dysfunction. By combining thyroid function tests with assessments for autoimmune markers, metabolic health, and nutritional status, this panel enables healthcare providers to develop targeted treatment strategies, addressing the complexities of hyperthyroidism and enhancing patient outcomes.
We advise having your results reviewed by a licensed medical healthcare professional for proper interpretation of your results.
