How Do I know If Need this test? Blood tests are commonly used to evaluate a wide range of symptoms and health conditions. Here are some symptoms and situations where someone might seek blood testing:
1. Fatigue or Weakness:
Persistent fatigue or weakness can indicate anemia, thyroid dysfunction, or other underlying conditions.
2. Unexplained Weight Changes:
Sudden weight loss or gain may necessitate blood tests to assess thyroid function, hormone levels, or metabolic conditions.
3. Fever or Infection:
A fever, especially if persistent, may lead to blood tests to identify infections, such as a complete blood count (CBC) to check for signs of infection or inflammation.
4. Joint Pain or Swelling:
Symptoms of arthritis or autoimmune diseases may prompt tests for inflammatory markers or specific autoantibodies.
5. Digestive Issues:
Symptoms like diarrhea, constipation, bloating, or abdominal pain may require tests to assess liver function, pancreatic function, or to check for infections.
6. Skin Changes:
Unexplained rashes, discolorations, or persistent itching may lead to tests for allergies or autoimmune conditions.
7. Mood Changes:
Symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other mood disorders may prompt tests for thyroid function, vitamin D levels, or other hormonal assessments.
8. Menstrual Irregularities:
Irregular or heavy menstrual periods may lead to blood tests to evaluate hormone levels or assess for conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
9. Chest Pain or Shortness of Breath:
These symptoms may require tests to assess heart function or oxygen levels, including tests for cardiac biomarkers.
10. High Blood Pressure:
Individuals with hypertension may undergo blood tests to assess kidney function, electrolyte balance, and to rule out underlying causes.
11. Chronic Conditions:
Patients with chronic diseases (like diabetes or chronic kidney disease) often have routine blood tests to monitor their condition and manage treatment.
12. Allergies:
Symptoms such as hives or respiratory issues may lead to blood tests for specific allergies.
13. Nutritional Deficiencies:
Symptoms like hair loss, brittle nails, or cognitive changes may prompt testing for vitamin and mineral deficiencies (e.g., vitamin B12, iron, folate).
14. Liver or Kidney Issues:
Symptoms such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), dark urine, or swelling in the legs may require liver or kidney function tests.
Optimize Thyroid Function to Improve Metabolism, Mood, Brain Function, and More
Thyroid dysfunction is one of the most under-addressed conditions in medicine today. When the thyroid is low, patients feel fatigued and depressed; they lack motivation, have difficulty losing weight, can’t concentrate, and tend to have more trouble with digestion. If the thyroid is off, the entire system may feel run down. Better thyroid function improves immune function, heart health, metabolism, energy levels, as well as sexual and reproductive health.
Assess Thyroid Gland Activity, Peripheral Conversion of Thyroid Hormone, and Autoantibodies
Routine thyroid tests miss critical information about thyroid health. The Precision Point Diagnostics Complete Thyroid Panel goes above and beyond routine thyroid tests, which only measure thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and total T4. It gives a comprehensive view of thyroid function by measuring TSH, T3 (free and total), T4 (free and total), reverse T3, and anti-thyroglobulin and thyroid peroxidase antibodies. This test can be ordered standalone or as part of the Comprehensive Screen.
Hypothyroid Symptoms:
- Constipation
- Depression
- Dry skin and brittle nails
- Feeling tired or weak
- Heavy or irregular menstrual periods
- Increased sensitivity to cold
- Infertility
- Joint pain
- Memory problems or having trouble thinking clearly
- Obesity
- Weight gain
Hyperthyroid Symptoms:
- Difficulty concentrating
- Fatigue
- Fine, thin hair and hair loss
- Goiter or thyroid nodules
- Hands may shake; heart may beat fast or breathing problems
- Increased bowel movements
- Irregular menstrual periods in women
- Nervous, moody, weak, or tired
- Sensation of being hot and sweaty or having warm, red, itchy skin
- Sleep problems or restlessness
- Weight loss without change in eating patterns
WHAT’S INCLUDED IN A FULL THYROID PANEL
The Full Thyroid Panel Covers the following biomarkers
- TSH- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland which stimulates the Thyroid gland in the production and release of T3 and T4 hormones
- Total triiodothyronine- Total T3- If your results show high total T3 levels or high free T3 levels, it may mean you have hyperthyroidism. Low T3 levels may mean you have hypothyroidism, a condition in which your body doesn’t make enough thyroid hormone. T3 test results are often compared with T4 and TSH test results to help diagnose thyroid disease.
- Free T3- A free or total triiodothyronine (free T3 or total T3) test is used to assess thyroid function. It is ordered primarily to help diagnose hyperthyroidism and may be ordered to help monitor treatment of a person with a known thyroid disorder.
- Total thyroxine- Total T4- A total T4 test measures the T4 that’s bonded to protein along with any free T4.
- Free T4- In general, high free T4 results may indicate an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism), and low free T4 results may indicate an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism).
- Reverse T3-If your labs show a high reverse T3 level this means that you are converting most of your T4 into reverse T3. Reverse T3 is an isomer of T3. If you recall T3 is themost active form of thyroid and it is converted from T4 as needed.
- TPO and TGB antibody testing- In many cases of hypo/hyperthyroidism, the lymphocytes, which are the blood cells created by our immune system and released in the blood circulation with the function to protect our body from any viruses and bacteria by creating their antibodies, now create antibodies against their own thyroid. These antibodies will either stimulate or harm the thyroid gland and its function. Two main thyroid antibodies are usually found in a case of hypo/hyperthyroidism include thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin.
- These Tests will allow you to determine Your T3/Reverse T3 ratio.
- Because thyroid antibodies are going to be the first indication of a thyroid problem in many cases. They can be elevated for 5, 10, sometimes even 15 years before a change in TSH is detected.
