This panel usually includes TSH, free T4 and free T3, which show how your thyroid is working, plus TPO and thyroglobulin antibodies, which can show autoimmune thyroid disease such as Hashimoto's.
Adults with symptoms like tiredness, weight change, feeling cold or hot, hair loss or mood changes, or with a family history of thyroid disease.
Your provider draws your blood at home. At your follow-up, you go through what each result means and any next steps.
Your labs are drawn and reviewed by a licensed medical provider.
We walk you through your results in a visit, not just a PDF.
No lab waiting room. Your provider comes to you in Brooklyn.
Your provider reviews your health history, symptoms and goals, then explains what the thyroid panel checks and whether it fits you.
You are told whether to fast and which supplements or medicines to pause before the draw. Stop biotin supplements for the time your provider advises, since biotin can cause false results.
Your provider draws blood at your home, labels it and sends it to the lab. Most draws take only a few minutes.
When results are back, your provider walks you through each number, what it means and what, if anything, to do next.
TSH is the main screening test. Free T4 and free T3 are the thyroid hormones themselves. Antibodies (TPO and thyroglobulin) can show autoimmune thyroid disease.
Biotin, recent illness, pregnancy and some medicines, such as steroids and amiodarone, can change thyroid results. Your provider reads results with these in mind.
An underactive thyroid is usually treated with daily thyroid hormone and regular blood checks. An overactive thyroid may need a specialist referral.
Labs that test samples from New York patients must hold a New York State permit for that test. Your provider uses a permitted lab, which is why the exact lab used in Brooklyn may differ from other states.
Fatigue in a busy city often has many causes. Thyroid testing helps rule one in or out, and your provider looks at sleep, iron and stress too.
Thyroid blood is drawn at home, ideally at a consistent time of day if you are being retested.
Antibodies can show autoimmune thyroid disease, sometimes before your thyroid levels change. That helps your provider plan how often to recheck you.
Biotin, found in many hair and nail supplements, can cause false thyroid results. Ask your provider how many days before your test to stop it.
Your provider explains the result, may repeat the test and talks through treatment options or a referral to a specialist.
