Thyroid Panel Tests

Thyroid panel blood tests are routinely used to measure the levels of thyroid hormones to determine how well your thyroid is functioning. A basic thyroid panel is an important initial screening module for levels of TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) and T4 (thyroxine). Dysfunction involving the thyroid gland commonly causes symptoms such as chronic fatigue, unexplained weight gain or loss, hair loss, dry skin, irritability and depression. Thyroid diseases are important conditions to treat or rule out prior to prescribing weight loss therapies.

An advanced thyroid panel may also include measurements of T3 (triiodothyronine), Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, Anti-TPO Antibody, and Anti-TG Antibody. The advanced panel helps to identify any possible inflammatory or autoimmune diseases involving the thyroid. It can also help to diagnose specific disorders resulting in hypo- or hyperthyroidism.

Labs and Testing

In general, it is recommended that everyone over the age of 35 have thyroid function screening done with a basic thyroid panel as part of routine health maintenance. This can help detect any issues with your thyroid early on and ensure that you get the care you need if general abnormalities are found.

At-Home Advanced Male Hormone Lab Test

At-Home Advanced Male Hormone Lab Test

At-Home Advanced Male Hormone Lab Tests provide an easy and affordable way to get accurate, reliable results on your hormone levels from the comfort of home. These are the same tests that your doctor would order to measure testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), dihydrotestosterone (DHT), cortisol, DHEA-sulfate, and other hormones that are important for men’s health. By assessing these levels, convenient at-home testing can be used to detect hormonal imbalances which may be contributing to low sex drive, decreased energy or strength, erectile dysfunction, hair loss, weakened bones and more. Men often neglect seeking help for their health and wellness, and this at-home test kit can provide easy diagnostic insight into their current health status, helping alert patients to potential issues before they become too serious or even life threatening. The Advanced Male Hormone Lab Test should be part of the annual testing for every man because as men age, they experience a slow and continuous decrease in testosterone production. While this change is normal, it can sometimes result in symptoms which warrant further evaluation.

Basic Male Hormone and Metabolic Lab Test

Basic Male Hormone Lab Test

A Basic Male Hormone Lab Test is a type of blood test used to measure the levels of hormones in men. It typically evaluates testosterone, estradiol, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). The test can help diagnose certain conditions such as infertility, low testosterone, and pituitary problems. It can also help determine if a man has enough testosterone for muscle development or other physical changes. The results of the lab test may also be used to monitor the effectiveness of hormone treatments.
Before the test, it’s important to provide your healthcare provider with accurate information about any medications you are taking as it could affect the results. During the sample collection process, a certified technician will draw blood from your arm using a needle. Afterward, it will be sent off to a laboratory for analysis. In most cases, results are available within 1-2 days.

Male Hormone and Metabolic Lab Test

These tests can provide valuable information about the overall health and well-being of an individual. The most common types of tests include those that measure testosterone, estradiol, cortisol, progesterone, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), DHEA-S, and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone responsible for male traits such as muscle mass, body hair growth, and bone density. Estradiol is an important female hormone related to fertility and ovulation. Cortisol is a stress hormone released by the adrenal glands in response to physical or psychological stressors. These lab tests can help diagnose any imbalances in hormonal levels so that appropriate treatment plans can be put into place.

 

Basic Male Hormone and Metabolic Lab Test

Male Hormone with Prostate Screen Lab Test

The Male Hormone with Prostate Screen Lab Test is an important diagnostic test for men to assess their overall reproductive health. It is typically performed by a laboratory or healthcare professional to measure the levels of male hormones, such as testosterone and DHT, as well as prostate specific antigen (PSA). The results of this test can help in diagnosing conditions such as hypogonadism, prostate cancer, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)—which all occur in increasing frequency during the normal aging process. Although you can expect PSA levels to increase with age, abnormally high PSA levels typically signal an enlarged prostate or inflammation or infection of the gland. These common and convenient tests may indicate the need for further workup and evaluation by your medical doctor.

Why is it important to check your PSA levels beginning at age 40?

The rationale for starting PSA screening around age 40 is to establish a baseline and monitor changes in PSA levels over time. Early detection of abnormalities or increases in PSA levels may prompt further evaluation for prostate health, including the possibility of prostate cancer. The decision to start PSA screening and the appropriate age to begin may vary based on individual health factors, family history, and discussions between the individual and their healthcare provider. It’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most suitable screening plan based on individual health circumstances.
