Thyroid tests
The thyroid is a hormone-producing gland located in the front of the neck that controls the body's metabolism through the hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones affect almost every cell in the body and are crucial for energy levels, body temperature, heart function, and the nervous system. To regulate thyroid activity, the pituitary gland produces thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which signals the thyroid to increase or decrease its hormone production.
Thyroid disorders can lead to hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), which can cause symptoms such as fatigue, feeling cold, weight changes, palpitations, mood swings, and difficulty concentrating. Autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto's and Graves' disease can cause thyroid problems by causing the immune system to attack the gland.
To evaluate thyroid function, we offer blood tests that measure TSH , free T3 and free T4 . We also analyze antibodies such as TPO-ak, TRAK and TgAk, which can indicate autoimmune involvement. Our tests provide a comprehensive picture of your thyroid health and are performed by accredited Swedish laboratories.

Information
Medical comment included
With us, you will always receive a doctor’s opinion from a licensed physician when you order a medical check-up that includes a medical opinion. The doctor’s opinion includes an overall assessment of your results from laboratory analysis. The opinion is individual and may vary depending on the specific tests your medical check-up includes.
What can I expect in the medical report?
The medical opinion will summarize the results of your test results to give you an assessment of your health including any abnormalities outside the reference ranges. In case of abnormalities or need, your doctor may also contact you for a free conversation to explain and talk about your results. Remember that a health check always includes specific test results based on your health and your personal circumstances. Values outside the reference range should therefore always be discussed with a doctor before any decisions regarding possible treatment are made.
What does the doctor look at during a health check?
When assessing a blood test or health check, your doctor will look at several different parameters to evaluate your health and identify any abnormalities. Below are some common aspects your doctor may examine:
Blood counts: Your doctor will check red, white and platelet counts to identify any signs of anaemia, infection or bleeding.
Nutrients and biochemical markers: Includes, for example, analysis and monitoring of blood sugar (glucose) levels, electrolyte levels (e.g. sodium, potassium), liver function tests (e.g. liver enzymes), kidney function tests (e.g. creatinine, urea) and lipid profile (e.g. cholesterol, triglycerides). The results of the tests give your doctor a better idea of your organ function, blood sugar level, cholesterol conditions and other important health aspects.
Inflammatory markers: Your doctor may measure health markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) or red blood cell decrease rate (SR) to evaluate inflammatory conditions or confirm an active infection.
Hormone levels: Your doctor may monitor your hormone levels to assess hormonal imbalances or diseases, such as thyroid hormones (TSH, T3, T4), sex hormones or other specific hormones such as testosterone levels.
Specific tests: Depending on your goal of your health check or medical history, your doctor may look into specific tests to investigate conditions or diseases, such as diabetes, vitamin deficiency or autoimmune diseases.
In conclusion, the doctor weighs all test results based on the health check to assess your overall health, detect any abnormalities and identify possible underlying medical conditions.
What happens if I have abnormal test results?
If your blood count is abnormal, this will be addressed in your personal medical opinion. Depending on the nature and extent of the abnormality, your doctor may also contact you directly through the test result service for further guidance. Various measures and advice will be provided based on the specific abnormalities observed along with your medical history.
- Thyroid test that measures three different thyroid hormones.
- Analysis of the thyroid hormones T3, T4 and TSH.
- Gives you insight into a possible imbalance of your thyroid hormones.
- Identifies whether you have an underactive or overactive thyroid.
- TPO antibody test (autoantibodies).
- Analysis of thyroperoxidase antibodies.
- Identifies any thyroid problems.
- Recommended together with TSH.
