Description
Our Thyroid (Underactive) Test uses a small sample of blood in a compact testing kit to analyse levels of TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) in the blood giving a fast indication of underactive thyroid hormone (hypothyroidism) and as a key health marker that can assist with understanding weight gain and other symptoms. The kit is mailed directly to you and contains the lateral flow kit, lancet, comprehensive instructions and everything you need to perform the test.
Biomarkers tested:
The thyroid is a gland that produces hormones and releases them into the bloodstream that controls the rate at which the body uses and stores energy from the food we eat, also known as the metabolic rate.
A TSH level higher than 5μIU/mL indicates a higher-than-normal level and the possibility of an underactive thyroid.
The test provides results based on a Positive/Higher or Negative/Normal basis. Positive results can then be used to request a secondary test or consult further medical advice.
This partner exclusive is available as a pack of ten (10) kits.
