1. Thyroid Function Blood Testing Panel 2
The Thyroid Function Blood Profile with TSH, T3 and T4 Free is a group of blood tests that includes Free T3, Free T4 and TSH that are often ordered together to help evaluate thyroid gland function and to help diagnose thyroid disorders. The thyroid tests included in a thyroid profile measure the amount of thyroid hormones in your blood. These hormones are chemical substances that travel through the bloodstream and control or regulate your body’s metabolism—how it functions and uses energy.
We recommend a thyroid test for anyone who:
• has a family member with thyroid disease,
• has been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome
• is a woman in or near menopause,
• has recently given birth,
• has other pituitary or endocrine disease, or
• is experiencing symptoms of thyroid disease.
2. Vitamin D, 25 Hydroxy
Vital to healthy bones. Deficiency can be related to prostate, breast and colon cancers; heart disease, type 1 diabetes and hypertension.
Recent studies in North America and Europe indicate that a staggering 95 percent of people are vitamin D deficient — not surprising given how much time we spend inside.
Sunlight doesn’t just help set your internal clock, it actually nourishes your body by helping it create vitamin D. Classified as a water-soluble vitamin, vitamin D acts more like a hormone, working with the parathyroid hormone to balance calcium in the blood and build strong bones. It also maintains healthy cellular growth and regulates the immune system, which prevents excessive inflammation that can lead to autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, periodontal disease, multiple sclerosis and irritable-bowel diseases.
3. Iron Panel
An iron panel from HealthCheckUSA is a blood screening for the iron overload disease, hemochromatosis. This genetic disorder causes your body to absorb and store too much iron. This extra iron builds up and causes organ damange. An iron profile is important because if hemochromatosis is not treated, these organs can fail. You could even need a transplant.
How does iron work in the body?
A normal person’s body absorbs enough iron through a regular diet. Iron is an essential nutrient, which becomes part of your blood that transports oxygen throughout the body. If your iron profile shows that you have hemochromatosis, your body absorbs more than it needs. There is no natural function to expel this excess iron, and it is typically stored in body tissues.
