The Corilab Thyroid Check-up combines a selection of hormone, protein and antibody tests in a single package. These tests are used as part of an assessment of thyroid function and certain thyroid conditions.
Some thyroid disorders, including autoimmune thyroiditis, may cause few or no symptoms during their early stages and may be identified through blood tests.
The results should be interpreted in the context of the individual’s circumstances and, where necessary, reviewed with their doctor or specialist.
TSH, FT3 and FT4 provide information about thyroid hormone regulation. Thyroid antibody tests may help investigate autoimmune thyroid conditions, while thyroglobulin has specific clinical uses and must be interpreted in the appropriate context.
When clinically indicated, laboratory testing can help identify thyroid abnormalities and guide further investigation or monitoring. It does not, however, prevent thyroid disease.
