These tests are commonly used to investigate symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, temperature sensitivity, or mood shifts, and to monitor known thyroid conditions over time.
About Thyroid Tests in Goleta
Thyroid tests evaluate the hormones and regulatory proteins that control metabolism, energy use, and temperature regulation.
The thyroid gland produces thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which influence nearly every cell in the body. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), made by the pituitary gland, tells the thyroid how much hormone to release, so TSH is often the first marker measured when thyroid function is in question.
A typical panel may include TSH, free T4, free T3, and sometimes total T4 or total T3. Some panels also measure thyroid antibodies, such as thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies or thyroglobulin antibodies, which can indicate autoimmune activity affecting the thyroid.
Results are interpreted together rather than in isolation. For example, a high TSH with a low free T4 often points toward an underactive thyroid, while a low TSH with a high free T4 can suggest an overactive thyroid. Reference ranges vary by laboratory, so results should be reviewed in the context of the specific lab's ranges and the individual's clinical picture.
