Description
Thyroid disorders are one of the most prevalent medical conditions in the world particularly for women, with an increasing number suffering from an under active thyroid gland (hypothyroidism).
WHEN TO DO THE TEST?
The symptoms of an under active thyroid include feeling tired, weight gain, dry skin, brittle hair, feeling depressed and becoming forgetful. Some people with an under active thyroid also suffer from constipation and women may have irregular periods.
Thyroid stimulating hormone, also known as TSH, is secreted from the pituitary gland and regulates the function of the thyroid. A higher than normal TSH level can be an indicator of an under active thyroid gland and this is why doctors will often request a measurement of your blood TSH levels. TSH is one of several thyroid markers used by doctors to confirm an underactive thyroid gland.
HOW TO PERFORM THE TEST?
- Prick the fingertip and collect the blood using the dropper provided in the kit.
- Transfer 2 drops of blood in the well of the cassette.
- Then add 2 drops of buffer in the same well and start the timer.
Read the results within 10 minutes.
