PathoFit Thyroid Health Comprehensive Package with Calcitonin, TPO, TG, ATG, Free TFT
Also Known As
Test Parameters Included
- Anti Thyroglobulin Antibody (ATG)
Description: Detects antibodies against thyroglobulin protein, which may indicate autoimmune thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis or Graves' disease. - Thyroxine - Free (FT4)
Description: Measures the active, unbound form of thyroxine. Helps evaluate metabolic rate and thyroid gland activity. - Calcitonin Serum
Description: A hormone produced by thyroid C-cells that regulates calcium and bone metabolism. Elevated levels may suggest medullary thyroid carcinoma or C-cell hyperplasia. - Thyroxine - Total (TT4)
Description: Measures both bound and unbound thyroxine. Used alongside FT4 and TSH for complete thyroid assessment. - Thyroglobulin (TG)
Description: A protein produced only by thyroid tissue. Useful for monitoring patients post-thyroidectomy or those under surveillance for thyroid cancer recurrence. - Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Description: Produced by the pituitary gland, TSH regulates thyroid hormone production. It is the most sensitive marker for primary thyroid disorders. - Anti-Microsomal / Thyroperoxidase Antibody (Anti-TPO)
Description: Identifies antibodies against thyroid peroxidase enzyme, confirming autoimmune thyroiditis or Hashimoto's disease. - Triiodothyronine - Free (FT3)
Description: Indicates active free form of triiodothyronine, critical for energy regulation and metabolic activity. - Triiodothyronine - Total (TT3)
Description: Measures both bound and free T3, used to diagnose hyperthyroid and hypothyroid conditions in combination with other parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of this package?
To assess thyroid gland function, autoimmune disorders, and calcitonin-related abnormalities.
Who should take this test?
Anyone showing symptoms of thyroid imbalance or those with family history of thyroid disease.
Is fasting required?
Not mandatory, but preferred for consistency.
Can I take my thyroid medicine before the test?
Ideally, give the sample before taking morning medication unless advised otherwise.
What does high TSH mean?
It generally indicates underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).
What does low TSH mean?
It suggests hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid function.
What are anti-TPO and anti-TG tests for?
They detect autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's or Graves'.
Why is calcitonin included?
To check for C-cell hyperactivity or medullary thyroid carcinoma.
Can stress affect thyroid results?
Yes, stress can influence hormone levels temporarily.
How often should I get my thyroid checked?
Once every 6–12 months, or as recommended.
Can this test detect thyroid cancer?
Calcitonin and thyroglobulin levels can help identify or monitor thyroid malignancies.
Can pregnancy affect thyroid results?
Yes, hormone levels fluctuate during pregnancy; reference ranges differ.
Do diet or supplements affect thyroid results?
Yes, iodine, biotin, and certain vitamins can affect test values.
What if all antibody tests are positive?
It suggests an autoimmune cause requiring long-term follow-up.
When are results available?
Within 12–24 hours.
