What is TSH + Free T4?
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) and Free T4 (thyroxine) are biomarkers that assess thyroid function. TSH is produced in the pituitary gland and stimulates the thyroid to produce T4, which is essential for regulating metabolism.
Why should you have TSH + Free T4 tested?
Testing TSH and Free T4 is useful for assessing your thyroid health. It is especially helpful when you experience symptoms that may indicate a thyroid disorder, such as fatigue, weight changes, or mood swings.
What does it indicate?
A TSH + Free T4 test can show whether your thyroid is too active (hyperthyroidism) or not active enough (hypothyroidism). It provides a clear picture of how your thyroid functions.
What does a high TSH level mean?
A high TSH level may indicate hypothyroidism, where the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. This can lead to symptoms such as weight gain, fatigue, and sensitivity to cold.
What does a low TSH level mean?
A low TSH level may indicate hyperthyroidism, where the thyroid gland produces too many hormones. This can cause symptoms such as weight loss, palpitations, and nervousness.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to what people usually want to know.
How does it work from order to result?
After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.
How quickly can I get tested?
Usually very quickly. Collection points typically have slots within a few days, sometimes even same-day. It depends on how busy the location is. For a few specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.
Do I need to book an appointment?
At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.
