Thyroid Panel (TSH, fT4, anti-TPO)

Self-pay thyroid blood testing at the Zlín poliklinika collection point. Choose a single TSH, a TSH plus free T4 combination, or a full screen adding anti-TPO antibodies to assess thyroid function and autoimmune thyroid involvement. Useful when investigating fatigue, weight change, mood symptoms or planning a pregnancy. No referral is required and payment is made at the draw.

The thyroid gland regulates metabolism through the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3); thyroid problems are among the most common endocrine disorders, and are several times more frequent in women than in men. Vaše laboratoře offers thyroid testing on a self-pay basis so it can be checked without waiting for a referral. **Markers available:** - TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) — the pituitary signal and the usual first-line screen of thyroid function. - Free T4 (fT4) — the main circulating thyroid hormone; added when TSH is abnormal or symptoms are present. - Free T3 (fT3) — the more active hormone, used in selected cases. - Anti-TPO antibodies — the key marker of autoimmune thyroiditis (such as Hashimoto's), particularly relevant before and during pregnancy. - Anti-Tg antibodies — a further autoimmune marker available on request. **Options offered here:** - TSH only (195 Kč) — basic screen. - TSH + free T4 (397 Kč) — function check. - Full screen: TSH + free T4 + anti-TPO (849 Kč, the default) — function plus autoimmune assessment. **How it works:** Attend the Zlín poliklinika collection point during morning hours. A nurse takes a venous sample and payment is made at the draw. Results are returned through the laboratory's standard channels. Where thyroid disease runs in the family, or when fatigue, weight change, palpitations or mood symptoms are being investigated, the fuller screen gives more information in a single visit.
