Thyroid Profile II (Including Anti-TG Antibodies)
Book your Thyroid Profile II test to assess hormone levels (TSH, Free T3, Free T4) and Anti-TG antibodies. Diagnose autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto’s. Private, fast results UK-wide.
What's included in this profile
- The active, unbound form of the main thyroid hormone T4
- Checked alongside TSH to assess thyroid function
- Helps confirm an over or underactive thyroid
- The active, unbound form of the thyroid hormone T3
- The most biologically active thyroid hormone
- Particularly useful in assessing an overactive thyroid
- Antibodies against a protein made by the thyroid gland
- Raised levels can indicate autoimmune thyroid disease
- Often checked alongside TPO antibodies
- The pituitary hormone that signals the thyroid to produce T3/T4
- The primary firstline test for thyroid function
- Raised or low levels suggest an underactive or overactive thyroid
About this profile
The Thyroid Profile II test offers an in-depth analysis of your thyroid function, combining key hormone checks with autoimmune antibody testing. It’s ideal for individuals experiencing symptoms of thyroid dysfunction or those with a family history of autoimmune thyroid disease.
This advanced test evaluates both thyroid hormone levels and Anti-TG antibodies, helping detect underlying conditions such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease.
What’s Included in the Thyroid Profile II Test?
✔ TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone):
Regulates thyroid hormone production. Abnormal levels can indicate hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
✔ Free T3 (Triiodothyronine):
The active hormone responsible for regulating your body’s metabolism, heart rate, and temperature. This test measures the unbound (free) form of T3.
✔ Free T4 (Thyroxine):
The primary thyroid hormone, converted into T3 in the body. Free T4 helps evaluate thyroid gland output and function.
✔ Anti-TG (Anti-Thyroglobulin Antibodies):
These antibodies attack thyroglobulin, a protein needed for hormone production. Elevated Anti-TG levels may suggest autoimmune thyroid disorders, particularly Hashimoto’s disease.
Benefits of the Thyroid Profile II Test
- Detect early signs of thyroid hormone imbalance
- Screen for autoimmune thyroid conditions
- Understand the cause of symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, and weight gain
- Support accurate diagnosis and treatment plans
- Ideal for patients requiring a more detailed thyroid assessment
This test is suitable for anyone needing a comprehensive thyroid check, particularly if autoimmune involvement is suspected.
