Individual tests

T3 is one of two major hormones from your thyroid that regulates how your body uses energy. It's also important in controlling your weight, body temperature, muscle strength, and nervous system. This test measures free circulating T3, excluding that bound to carrier proteins. It aids diagnosis of, or following the treatment for, hyperthyroidism.
Free T4 is the active form of the thyroxine hormone that enters your tissues where needed. Your thyroid, which controls how your body uses energy, produces thyroxine. These hormones affect your weight, heart, body temperature, muscle strength, and mood. A T4 test checks how well your thyroid is working.
When you eat, carbohydrates within the food are broken down into glucose molecules. Glucose provides energy for cellular processes and aids metabolism. When an individual is hyperglycemic and cannot properly regulate their blood glucose level, they are considered diabetic. Type 1 diabetes is caused by the immune system attacking pancreatic beta cells (cells that produce insulin), and Type 2 diabetes is caused by insulin resistance.
When food is ingested, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose molecules. Glucose provides energy for cellular processes and aids metabolism. When an individual is hyperglycemic and cannot regulate their blood glucose level, they are considered diabetic. A 1-hour postprandial blood sugar test helps assess blood glucose regulation.

When an individual is hyperglycemic and cannot properly regulate their blood glucose level, they are considered diabetic. A 2-hour postprandial blood sugar test helps assess blood glucose regulation.
Glucose is a sugar your body produces when it digests carbohydrates and is the chief energy source for living organisms. Too much or too little glucose in the blood can indicate a serious medical condition. High blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia) may be a sign of diabetes, a chronic disease with many possible complications. Low blood sugar can lead to major health problems, including brain damage and seizures.

This test for diabetes screening and monitoring of treatment effectiveness measures the average glucose attached to Hemoglobin in blood over 120 days.
The homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) test is a tool used to estimate Insulin resistance from fasting blood Glucose and Insulin concentrations. Insulin resistance is the condition where the body's cells become less responsive to the effects of Insulin.
Insulin is a hormone that helps move blood sugar (glucose) from your bloodstream into cells. It plays a crucial role in maintaining glucose levels. An insulin-in-blood test is often used to determine the cause of low blood sugar, diagnose or monitor insulin resistance, find a type of pancreas tumor called insulinoma, or identify when a type 2 diabetic might need to start taking insulin to supplement oral medications.
T3 is one of two major hormones made by your thyroid, a small gland located near the throat. It helps regulate your energy use, weight, body temperature, muscle strength, and nervous system. This test helps diagnose, assess and monitor thyroid disorders, such as an overactive or underactive thyroid gland and aids diagnoses of pituitary gland disorders.
Thyroxine (T4) is a thyroid hormone affecting your weight, heart, body temperature, and muscle strength. A T4 test can check how well your thyroid is working. It also helps diagnose and monitor thyroid disease and conditions like an underactive or overactive thyroid.
Thyroglobulin is a thyroid protein. This test is mostly used to monitor, but not to diagnose, patients with well-differentiated thyroid cancers. The measurement of thyroglobulin after thyroidectomy and ablation of the thyroid gland is useful for determining metastasis. It may also help diagnose hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, which are common non-cancer thyroid conditions.
Thyroglobulin is a protein that your thyroid produces. Antithyroglobulin antibodies can indicate thyroid gland damage caused by the immune system. They may be measured in suspected cases of thyroid inflammation. Measuring thyroglobulin antibody levels after thyroid cancer treatment can help your provider monitor recurrence.
