GetTested at Home Thyroid TSH Test (1 Test) The Test Measures The Level of TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) in The Blood

Description:

About this item:

  • The thyroid gland plays a crucial role in your body's metabolism and impacts various bodily functions. Producing Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) in the brain's pituitary gland, it stimulates the thyroid to release thyroxine (T4), which is a precursor for triiodothyronine (T3). Importantly, tyrosine and iodine are essential for producing thyroxine.
  • Hypothyroidism signifies an underproduction of T3 and T4, leading to symptoms like fatigue, cognitive issues, and weight gain. Conversely, hyperthyroidism results from an overproduction of these hormones. Predominantly, hypothyroidism is more common, significantly affecting both physical and mental health.
  • Key Symptoms of Hypothyroidism: Persistent fatigue and lack of energy, Feeling unusually cold, Depression, Unexplained weight gain, A slow pulse rate, Dry skin and brittle nails, Hair loss, Memory challenges.
  • Our Thyroid TSH Test is designed to detect elevated TSH levels, a marker of potential thyroid disorders. Specifically, a TSH value above 5 μIU/ml suggests hypothyroidism, warranting further medical consultation.
  • Moreover, TSH regulates the thyroid hormones T4 and T3, which in turn control the production of TSH through a feedback mechanism. This balance is integral to maintaining an efficient metabolism, dictating how your body burns calories and fat. An underactive thyroid, therefore, leads to a slower metabolism.
  • Additionally, thyroid imbalances can affect other endocrine systems such as the ovaries and adrenal glands. Often, an underactive thyroid is linked to intestinal inflammation, which can impede the body’s detoxification process and hinder toxin elimination.
  • Various factors can lead to hypothyroidism, including insufficient thyroid hormone production, lack of iodine, genetic predispositions, chronic inflammation, and hormonal shifts during pregnancy and menopause. Understanding your thyroid health is essential, and GetTested's Thyroid TSH Test offers a convenient and reliable starting point for this exploration.

    • Discover if you suffer from an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) with our Thyroid TSH Test. The test measures the level of TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) in the blood and yields a positive result when TSH levels exceed 5 μIU/ml. If you wish to conduct a more comprehensive thyroid assessment and also measure the levels of free T3 and T4,

    This is a home test to check thyroid function by checking the level of TSH, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, in the blood, it works by setting a cut off of 5 uIU TSH /ml of blood.The test cassette detects the TSH in the sample. The blood is put into the test cassette and reacts with anti-TSH antibody coated particles which are in the test, the sample travels up the membrane of the cassette until it reaches the "T" line, if a line appears at the "T" line the volume of TSH is in excess of 5uIU/ml to trigger the coloured line and a visit to a Dr is advised, if the volume is less than 5uIU/ml the reaction with the anti-TSH antibodies will not trigger a coloured line and is considered normal.In the box you get the following: (see photograph)Instructions;Test cassette to put the blood sample in and read the result;Two needles (one spare);A bottle of buffer solution;a capillary dropper to draw the blood; andan alcohol wipe to clean the finger before drawing blood.The instructions explain how the test works and how to perform the test.It's fairly simple:1. Open the cassette and lay out ready to put the blood in.Be aware before opening the cassette that the capillary dropper (see separate photo of this) is also inside the wrapper, I was unaware so the dropper fell on the floor which could have contaminated the test;2.Take the top off one of the needles;3. Clean injection site with the alcohol wipe;4. Use the automatic needle to prick the finger;5. Place the capillary dropper into the blood, squeeze the finger until enough blood has been collected in the dropper;6. Squeeze the blood from the dropper into the test cassette;7. Add buffer solution; and finally8. Wait ten minutes.I've posted a photo of my test result which shows the TSH level is not over 5uIU/ml so my reading is not considered abnormal which is as I expected.At the time of testing the price was £19, probably more than the cost of travelling to the GP but assuming it works it gives instant peace of mind to rule out a potential cause of tiredness without waiting and advocating for a blood test.
