$69.00

Blood spot test. Measures the amount of thyroid hormone manufactured by the thyroid gland. General indication of thyroid activity. If you're only ordering one test for thyroid function, this would be the one to choose. High levels of TSH indicate that the brain and thyroid gland are working hard to raise thyroid levels, thus it indicates low thyroid. Very low levels of TSH may indicate thyroid excess, but it's wise to test other thyroid parameters if this is the case.
