Detail description of Thyroid panel test components

Thyroid Panel Tests

TSH
TSH is a laboratory test that measures the amount of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in your blood. TSH is produced by the pituitary gland and tells the thyroid gland to make and release the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). The thyroid gland is a small butterfly shaped organ that lies across your windpipe.

This test is taken to determine if your thyroid gland is working properly. An underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) can cause symptoms such as weight gain, tiredness, dry skin, constipation, a feeling of being too cold or frequent menstrual periods. An overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) can cause symptoms such as weight loss, rapid heart rate, nervousness, diarrhea, a feeling of being too hot, or irregular menstrual periods.

Normal Results: 0.4 – 4.5mIU/L

Thyroxine (T4)
T4 (thyroxine) is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. This test measures the amount of T4 in your blood. This test should be ordered if you have signs of a thyroid disorder. Thyroid function is complex and depends on the action of many different hormones, including thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and T3 (triiodothyronine). T4 levels are important, because T4 increases numerous substances that produce energy for the body. Most T4 is transported by proteins. If T4 is not attached to a protein, it is called "free" T4.

Normal Results: 4.5 to 11.2 micrograms per deciliter (mcg/dL)

T3 uptake (THBR)
(THBR) Thyroid Hormone-Binding Ratio. This test measures the level of thyroid hormone-binding proteins in the blood. This test helps estimate the availability of thyroxin binding globulin (TBG), which is the protein that carries most of the T3 and T4 in the blood. The higher the level of TBG , the lower the value of T3. A higher T3 value means less TBG is available, possibly as a result of hyperthyroidism.

Normal Results: 24-37%
