Short Description

Autoimmune Hypothyroidism may be associated with Goiter (Hashimoto disease) or in later stages Atrophic Thyroiditis. The autoimmune process gradually reduces thyroid function with a phase of compensation when normal thyroid hormone levels are maintained by a rise in TSH. This is called Subclinical hypothyroidism. The incidence rate of hypothyroidism is 4 per 1000 women and 1 per 1000 men. The mean age at diagnosis is 60 years and the prevalence of overt hypothyroidism increases with age. Presence of TPO antibodies with subclinical hypothyroidism increases the risk by 4% of developing clinical hypothyroidism.

HYPOTHYROIDISM / HASHIMOTO'S DISEASE PANEL Test

Are you experiencing symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and depression? You might be suffering from hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's disease, which are both thyroid disorders. The good news is that DNA Labs India offers a comprehensive panel test that can help diagnose these conditions.

What is Hypothyroidism?

Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough thyroid hormone. This hormone is responsible for regulating your body's metabolism, and when there's not enough of it, you can experience a wide range of symptoms, including:

• Weight gain
• Fatigue
• Constipation
• Depression
• Cold intolerance
• Dry skin and hair

What is Hashimoto's Disease?

Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes the immune system to attack the thyroid gland. This can lead to hypothyroidism and the same symptoms mentioned above. Hashimoto's disease is more common in women and tends to run in families.

The Hypothyroidism / Hashimoto's Disease Panel Test

The panel test offered by DNA Labs India is a comprehensive test that screens for both hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's disease. It measures the levels of various thyroid hormones and antibodies, including TSH, T3, T4, and thyroglobulin antibodies.

Test Cost

The cost of the Hypothyroidism / Hashimoto's Disease Panel Test is INR 1521. This test is affordable and can provide important information about your health.

Diagnosis and Treatment

If the panel test comes back positive for hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's disease, your doctor will likely prescribe thyroid hormone replacement therapy. This involves taking medication to replace the missing thyroid hormone and bring your levels back to normal. With proper treatment, most people with hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's disease can live normal, healthy lives.

Conclusion

If you're experiencing symptoms of hypothyroidism or Hashimoto's disease, don't wait to get tested. The Hypothyroidism / Hashimoto's Disease Panel Test offered by DNA Labs India is an affordable and comprehensive way to diagnose these conditions. With early diagnosis and proper treatment, you can manage your symptoms and live a healthy life.
