Advanced Thyroid Panel - More Information

The advanced thyroid panel checks an advanced group of thyroid lab tests.

The advanced thyroid panel combines tests from the hypothyroidism test and the hyperthyroidism test to provide a more general thyroid health screen. Advanced thyroid screening might be done if someone wants a snapshot of their thyroid health without necessarily having specific concerns about an underactive or overactive thyroid gland. Specifically, the advanced thyroid blood panel includes the free T3 test, free T4 test, thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibody test, total T3 test, total T4 test, and TSH test. These tests were selected to check for a poorly stimulated thyroid gland, malfunctioning thyroid hormone production processes, and evidence that the immune system might be attacking the thyroid gland.

To get an advanced thyroid blood panel near you, simply order online and get your labs drawn at a local lab. Once your advanced thyroid panel lab results are ready, they will be available for download. As can be seen on the sample advanced thyroid lab results above, the individual components of the advanced thyroid panel test are reported as numerical values and can be compared against the reference range provided by the lab.
