2San Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid) Test 2San Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid) Test is an easy to use finger-prick blood test that delivers results in just 10 minutes. Common symptoms of hypothyroidism include feeling tired, depressed, or cold regularly, weight gain, dry skin, brittle hair, and menstrual cycle irregularities in women. The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped organ in the front of your neck.

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) activates the thyroid gland to produce the thyroid hormones, thyroxine, and triiodothyronine. These are essential for maintaining your body’s metabolism. An underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) is a common condition where your thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones in response to TSH, causing TSH levels to rise.

Testing of TSH levels in the blood is the best initial test for hypothyroidism. A TSH level over 5μIU/mL indicates an underactive thyroid, which requires treatment from your doctor. If your result is below 5uIU/mL and is within the normal range, a case of hyperthyroidism, though rare, but cannot be excluded.

If your symptoms persist, you should consult your doctor. 2San Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid) Test contents: 1 Test Cassette 1 Lancet 1 Capillary Dropper 1 Package Insert 1 Buffer 1 Alcohol Pad 1 Test 2San Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid) Test specification: Intended Use: Chromatographic immunoassay for qualitative detection of TSH in human serum.
