We’re skipping the line for hypothyroidism tests. Whether you’re experiencing tiredness, cold sensitivity, a puffy face, weight gain, depression, or muscle aches, this thyroid test at home is designed to screen your TSH levels, giving you an insight into your thyroid’s condition. With a set of reliable results in tow, you’ll have the evidence you need to begin your recovery journey.

A rapid test for the qualitative detection of human Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) in human whole blood. For self-testing in vitro diagnostic use only. The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Rapid Test Cassette is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of TSH in human whole blood at a cut-off concentration of 5 μIU/mL. This assay provides a preliminary diagnostic test result and can be used to screening for TSH. Thyroid stimulating hormone (also known as thyrotropin, thyrotropic hormone, TSH, or hTSH for human TSH) is a pituitary hormone that stimulates the thyroid It is a glycoprotein hormone synthesized and secreted by thyrotrope cells in the anterior pituitary gland, which regulates the endocrine function of the thyroid. gland to produce thyroxine (T4), and then triiodothyronine (T3) which stimulates the metabolism of almost every tissue in the body. TSH (with a half-life of about an hour) stimulates the thyroid gland to secrete the hormone thyroxine (T4), which has only a slight effect on metabolism. T4 is converted to triiodothyronine (T3), which is the active hormone that stimulates metabolism. About 80% of this conversion is in the liver and other organs, and 20% in the thyroid itself.
Testing of thyroid stimulating hormone* levels in the blood is considered the best initial test for hypothyroidism. It is important to note the statement from the Subclinical Thyroid Disease Consensus Panel: “There is no single level of TSH at which clinical action is always either indicat ed or contraindicated. The higher the TSH, the more compelling is the rationale for treatment. It is important to consider the individual clinical context (e.g. pregnancy, lipid profile, ATPO antibodies).” The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood) is a rapid test that qualitatively detects the presence of TSH in whole blood specimen at the sensitivity of 5 μlU/mL. The Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood) is a simple test that utilizes a combination of monoclonal antibodies to selectively detect elevated levels of TSH in whole blood.

Note: In the unlikely event we are unable to fulfil your order with our own Berkeley Range of tests, We would would automatically send you a alternative branded Test kit.
