Why is this test important to me?
Thyroid disorders are one of the most prevalent medical conditions in the world, particularly for women, with an increasing number of people suffering from an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism). Early diagnosis means that treatment can be started sooner.
Testing for an underactive thyroid
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is secreted by the pituitary gland and regulates the activity of your thyroid gland. A higher than normal TSH level in your blood (over 5μIU/mL) indicates an underactive thryoid. The SELFCheck Thyroid Health Test is a rapid immunodiagnostic test for the detection of increased TSH levels from a finger prick blood sample.
The SELFCheck Thyroid Health Test is accuarte and has been used for more than 10 years by health professionals in hospitals and laboratories. Comparison of the SELFCheck Thyroid Health Test with laboratory reference methods shows an overall agreement of 95.5%.
