Pakiet Tarczycowy — Thyroid Panel

Thyroid function panel including TSH, free T3, free T4, and thyroid antibodies (anti-TPO, anti-TG). A thorough thyroid assessment that covers both hormone levels and autoimmune markers. At 122 PLN (~€28), roughly half the price of an equivalent panel in Berlin.

This panel assesses thyroid function comprehensively. TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) is the primary screening marker — elevated TSH indicates hypothyroidism, suppressed TSH indicates hyperthyroidism. Free T3 and free T4 measure the biologically active thyroid hormones circulating in blood, unbound to proteins. The inclusion of both anti-TPO and anti-TG antibodies distinguishes this from basic thyroid panels that test only TSH or TSH plus free T4. Anti-TPO antibodies are elevated in 90% of Hashimoto thyroiditis cases — the most common cause of hypothyroidism in iodine-sufficient populations. Anti-TG antibodies provide additional diagnostic sensitivity, particularly in thyroid cancer surveillance and in the subset of Hashimoto patients who are anti-TPO negative. Early detection of thyroid autoimmunity is clinically valuable because elevated antibodies often precede overt thyroid dysfunction by years. A patient with normal TSH but elevated anti-TPO has a significantly increased risk of developing hypothyroidism over the following decade — warranting periodic monitoring. Individual components are also available: TSH 45 PLN, FT3 43 PLN, FT4 43 PLN, anti-TPO 68 PLN, anti-TG 68 PLN. The package represents significant savings over individual ordering.
