Overview
The Comprehensive Thyroid Assessment is a hormone test that provides a thorough analysis of thyroid hormone metabolism. It includes central thyroid gland regulation and activity, thyroid production and secretion, peripheral thyroid conversion, and thyroid autoimmunity. Thyroid hormones are essential and primary regulators of the body's metabolism. Hormone imbalances can affect virtually every metabolic process in the body, exerting significant effects on mood and energy level. Thyroid hormones also play central metabolic roles in healthy sexual and reproductive function in both women and men.
This hormone test allows the practitioner to pinpoint common imbalances that underlie a broad spectrum of chronic illness. To assess central and peripheral thyroid function, as well as thyroid auto-immunity, this test analyzes serum levels of
- TSH
- free T4
- free T3
- reverse T3
- anti-TG antibodies
- anti-TPO antibodies
