Basic Thyroid Panel, by DHA Labs

Basic Thyroid Panel

TSH • Free T3 • Free T4 • Total T4

Our Basic Thyroid Panel at Evenbetternow® is a foundational screening tool for evaluating overall thyroid function. It includes four key markers commonly used to identify thyroid imbalances such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, or hormone conversion issues. This panel is frequently recommended as a starting point for individuals with fatigue, weight changes, mood fluctuations, or menstrual irregularities, or for those monitoring an existing thyroid treatment plan.

Standard thyroid testing in conventional medicine often focuses on just TSH - but this may not provide the full picture. By including Free T3, Free T4, and Total T4, this panel offers deeper insight into how your thyroid is producing and converting hormones.

The Basic Thyroid Panel includes measurement of the following biomarkers:

• TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone): A primary marker for evaluating thyroid function and guiding treatment. Produced by the pituitary gland, TSH regulates the production of thyroid hormones T3 and T4.
• Free T3 (Triiodothyronine): The metabolically active form of thyroid hormone, Free T3 plays a key role in energy metabolism. Low levels may signal poor conversion from T4 to T3, while high levels may indicate hyperthyroidism.
• Free T4 (Thyroxine): Represents the unbound portion of T4 circulating in the blood. Helps evaluate thyroid output, especially in the presence of abnormal binding proteins.
• Total T4: Measures both bound and unbound T4, offering an overall view of thyroid hormone production. Abnormal levels may indicate hypo- or hyperthyroid states.

When Is This Panel Recommended?

This panel is commonly used to:

• Establish a baseline thyroid assessment
• Monitor thyroid hormone therapy or anti-thyroid medications
• Recheck hormone levels 6–8 weeks after a dosage change
• Investigate symptoms such as fatigue, hair thinning, weight fluctuations, dry skin, mood changes, or sensitivity to temperature

How It Works:

1. After you place your order, we will submit your request to DHA Labs.

Patient Preparation: Please discontinue any supplements containing Biotin (vitamin B7) at least 72 hours prior to your blood draw, as biotin may interfere with thyroid test accuracy.

Add a Consult with Follow-up Summary
