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.

Preparation Required
No fasting required. Morning draw preferred as TSH follows a circadian rhythm (peaks early morning).
Panel Categories
Biomarkers Tested
8The active form of thyroid hormone responsible for regulating metabolism, energy, and body temperature. Free T3 is converted from T4 in tissues and is three to four times more potent than T4.
The unbound, active form of the main thyroid hormone T4. Free T4 directly reflects thyroid gland output and is used alongside TSH to diagnose and monitor thyroid disorders.
Free triiodothyronine; high levels indicate hyperthyroidism, low levels hypothyroidism.
Free thyroxine; high levels indicate hyperthyroidism, low levels hypothyroidism.
A group of proteins in blood including antibodies (immunoglobulins), transport proteins, and enzymes. Elevated globulin can indicate chronic infection, inflammation, or blood cancers. Calculated by subtracting albumin from total protein.
An inactive form of T3 produced when the body converts T4. Elevated reverse T3 can occur during illness, stress, or caloric restriction and may indicate impaired thyroid hormone activation despite normal TSH levels.
Antibodies against thyroid peroxidase, an enzyme essential for thyroid hormone production. Positive TPO antibodies indicate autoimmune thyroid disease, most commonly Hashimoto's thyroiditis, even before symptoms or TSH changes appear.
The primary screening test for thyroid function. TSH is produced by the pituitary gland to regulate thyroid hormone production. High TSH indicates an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), while low TSH suggests an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).
122 PLN for full thyroid panel. Extended version (Tarczycowy-rozszerzony) including TRAb: 250 PLN. Maximum panel (Tarczycowy-MAX): 359 PLN.
