Thyroid Function Panel
Thyroid function tests can provide a clearer picture when a single TSH result is not enough.
The Thyroid Function Panel is designed to assess both thyroid hormone activity and thyroid antibodies through TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Anti-TPO, and Anti-TG.
This broader combination supports thyroid evaluation and follow-up by bringing key hormone and antibody markers together in one focused panel.

What Do the Thyroid Function Tests in This Panel Check?
The five-test panel looks at thyroid hormone activity and thyroid antibodies together, giving more context than a single thyroid test.
Thyroid Function
TSH + Free T3 + Free T4
These three markers are commonly used together to assess how the thyroid is functioning and how much thyroid hormone is available in the blood.
Thyroid Antibodies
Anti-TPO + Anti-TG
These antibody tests add another layer to the profile and may be useful when autoimmune thyroid conditions are being considered as part of a medical assessment.
When May a Thyroid Function Panel Be Useful?
The panel may be considered when:
- Your doctor has requested a broader thyroid assessment.
- A previous TSH, T3, or T4 result needs further follow-up.
- Thyroid antibodies need to be checked.
- You are monitoring a known thyroid condition under medical care.
- Symptoms or medical history have led your healthcare provider to investigate thyroid function.
- You prefer to check thyroid hormones and antibodies together in one package.
