Thyroid Panel (THYP)

The Thyroid Panel (THYP) is a group of blood tests that measure the levels of various hormones produced by the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is located in the neck and produces hormones that help regulate metabolism, heart rate, body temperature, and other bodily functions.

The Thyroid Panel is typically ordered when an individual has symptoms of thyroid dysfunction, such as fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, or changes in heart rate. The test may also be ordered to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for thyroid conditions or to screen individuals at high risk of developing thyroid disease, such as those with a family history of the disease or with certain autoimmune disorders. The results of the Thyroid Panel can help guide appropriate treatment and management of thyroid conditions and promote overall health and wellness.
