Thyroid Panel in Jihlava

IFCOR's Thyroid Basic Screen is a targeted two-marker test — TSH and free T4 — that confirms whether the thyroid gland is functioning within normal limits. TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) is the pituitary's signal to the thyroid; abnormal TSH is the earliest indicator of hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism in over 95% of cases. Free T4 is the main thyroid hormone produced in response to TSH, and measuring both together distinguishes primary thyroid disease from secondary pituitary problems. At 450 Kč, this is the most affordable entry point for anyone with unexplained weight change, fatigue, hair loss, temperature sensitivity, or mood changes who wants to check thyroid function before a GP consultation.

The Thyroid Comprehensive panel extends the Basic two-marker screen with four additional markers — free T3, anti-TPO, anti-TG, and thyroglobulin — that are necessary to diagnose autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease), distinguish thyroid cancer recurrence monitoring, and assess T3/T4 conversion efficiency. Free T3 is the biologically active form of thyroid hormone; its ratio to T4 reveals conversion problems in peripheral tissues. Anti-TPO and anti-TG antibodies are the hallmarks of autoimmune thyroid disease, present in over 90% of Hashimoto's cases. This panel is the appropriate choice when the Basic screen returns borderline results or when autoimmune thyroid disease is suspected.
