Description
Most standard thyroid screenings stop at TSH. That single marker leaves out a lot of the picture, including how much active thyroid hormone your body actually has available and whether your immune system is involved.
The Thyroid Advantage Panel looks at all of it:
- TSH: the pituitary signal that tells your thyroid how hard to work
- Free T4: the storage form of thyroid hormone circulating in your blood
- Free T3: the active form your cells use for energy, metabolism, and body temperature
- TPO Antibodies: an immune marker commonly elevated with Hashimoto’s
- Thyroglobulin Antibodies: a second immune marker that can be elevated even when TPO is normal
Running the antibodies alongside the standard markers matters. Antibodies are often elevated years before TSH ever moves out of range, so this panel gives you a much earlier and more complete look at what is happening.
