The thyroid is a small gland that is located towards the lower front of your neck. The thyroid secretes hormones which are important in regulating many processes within the body including growth, development, metabolism, body temperature and heart rate. The two main hormones produced by the thyroid are triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). If for any reason, the thyroid gland fails to produce the correct amounts of these hormones you may experience symptoms associated with a thyroid disorder. This may include one of more of the following:
In addition to testing for; thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free T3 (FT3) and free T4 (FT4) that assess thyroid function we also test for antibodies against the thyroid (thyroid peroxidase antibodies and thyroglobulin antibodies). The presence of these antibodies can help diagnose if an autoimmune disease is the cause of your symptoms. Testing for high-sensitivity C-Reactive protein also helps identify inflammation in the body and establish whether this is being caused by an autoimmune disease. Iron status is also investigated as this may be reduced if you have a thyroid disorder. Further to this, we evaluate your levels of key vitamins including; vitamin D, vitamin B12 and folate. This is important as these nutrients help support the normal functioning of the thyroid. A lack of these vitamins can also contribute to fatigue and other symptoms that may be associated with an underactive thyroid.
