Thyroid Disorder Nutrient Deficiency Test Panel by Quest Diagnostics

Comprehensive blood test to measure 5 nutrients potentially affected by thyroid disorders.

Additional Information

This panel measures vitamin D, iodine, ferritin, iron, and selenium levels in your blood. Thyroid disorders like hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's can hinder nutrient absorption. Testing helps you and your doctor determine if supplementation is needed to improve thyroid health and overall well-being. Addressing deficiencies is crucial for better health, as your body doesn't produce most vitamins and minerals. This test provides insights into your nutritional status and informs treatment decisions.

Biomarkers Tested (5)

Vitamin D (ng/mL)

Vitamin D is essential for bone health and immune function. Deficiency can lead to bone disorders such as rickets or osteoporosis.

Urine Iodine (µg/L)

Iodine is an essential trace element and an integral component of thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones are required for normal growth and development of tissues and maturation of our bodies. Approximately 80% of iodine is excreted in the urine, making it a good marker of the previous day's intake.

Ferritin (ng/mL)

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body. Low levels can indicate iron deficiency, while high levels may suggest iron overload or inflammation.

Iron (µg/dL)

Iron (Fe) is essential for hemoglobin production and oxygen transport. Low levels can lead to anemia, while high levels may indicate iron overload disorders.

Selenium (NA)
