Thyroid Panel
Thyroid Panel is a dedicated team to evaluates and optimizes thyroid health. This shall promote overall well-being. The thyroid gland is known to play a crucial role in regulating metabolism, energy levels, mood, and many other physiological processes in the body. Lifecode offers a comprehensive thyroid panel to assess thyroid function, diagnose thyroid disorders, and guide personalized treatment plans.
Why Prioritize Thyroid Health:
- Metabolic Regulation: The thyroid gland shall produce hormones which shall regulate metabolism, energy production, and heat generation in the body. Some of the optimal thyroid function is needed for sustaining a healthy weight, energy levels, and overall metabolic balance.
- Mood and Mental Health: Thyroid hormones all play a crucial role in brain function and mood regulation. Imbalances in thyroid function can lead to symptoms like depression, anxiety, irritability, and cognitive impairment.
- Heart Health: Thyroid hormones influence blood pressure, heart rate, and cholesterol levels. Thyroid disorders, like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, can enhance the risk of cardiovascular diseases like hypertension, heart failure, and arrhythmias.

Lifecode’s Comprehensive Thyroid Panel:
- Thyroid Function Tests: The Thyroid Panel includes tests for evaluating thyroid functions, like thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (T4), free triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroid antibodies. Such tests shall provide valuable information about thyroid hormone levels and autoimmune thyroid disorders.
- Thyroid Imaging: healthcare offers thyroid ultrasound imaging to evaluate the size, shape, and structure of the thyroid gland and detect any abnormalities. It includes nodules or cysts. Thyroid ultrasound helps assess thyroid health and guide further diagnostic and treatment decisions.
- Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) Biopsy: If thyroid nodules or suspicious findings on ultrasound, the team might perform a fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy to obtain a tissue sample for analysis. FNA biopsy helps determine whether thyroid nodules are benign or malignant and guides appropriate management.
- Genetic Testing: The lifecode offers genetic testing for hereditary thyroid disorders or genetic mutations associated with thyroid cancer. Conditions like genetic testing can provide valuable information about an individual’s risk of developing thyroid disease and guide personalized treatment and monitoring.
