Thyroid Testing: Lab Markers

Are you aware that there are 11 lab markers to properly evaluate your thyroid yet almost all doctors only order two?

  • TSH (this is what is conventionally ordered)
  • Total T4 (thyroxine)

But what about these tests?

  • Total T4 (thyroxine)
  • FTI (free thyroxine index) (amount of T4 available)
  • FT4 (free throxine) (affected by prescription drugs)
  • T3 Uptake (How much of T3 is taken up by TBG)
  • FT3 (free triodothyroxine) (Active Thyroid Hormone)
  • Reverse T3 (Body cannot use)
  • TPO and TBG Antibodies (Hashimoto’s)
  • TSH Antibodies (Graves’ Disease)
  • TBG levels

How can you manage health without all the information? Burning out the thyroid gland with hormone replacement is a 50 year old model. In order to manage your health, you need to look at the causes of the problem… not just the symptoms.
