Essential Thyroid Microsample | Pathology

DESCRIPTION

Through a simple finger prick, this assessment can measure thyroid levels to detect potential abnormalities. 

The thyroid gland secretes hormones which regulate important metabolic processes like growth and energy expenditure. These hormones are crucial to numerous biochemical processes, and without healthy thyroid function, can be insufficiently distributed and used throughout the body. 

This sample can detect markers of hypothyroidism (low activity) and hyperthyroidism (high activity) of the thyroid gland. These conditions are reflected in the health and efficiency of the body’s metabolism, and can be detected through the Essential Thyroid Microsample.
