Thyroid tests

Thyroid diseases are among the most common health disorders worldwide, affecting everything from metabolism to heart rate. Thyroid disorders can lead to a wide range of complications, which is why it is important to have regular thyroid hormone tests. These tests help to detect both hyperthyroidism, when too much hormone is secreted, and hypothyroidism, when too little hormone is secreted, allowing early prevention of the development of more serious diseases.

Laboratory tests, such as measurements of free thyroxine and the thyroid-stimulating hormone thyrotropin, are the first step in diagnosing thyroid conditions. These tests, carried out regularly, allow doctors to effectively assess hormone balance and take the necessary treatment measures to prevent long-term health problems.
