More Information

Thyroid problems include hyperthyroidism (overproduction of thyroid hormones), hypothyroidism (underproduction of thyroid hormones), Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, and Graves’ Disease (two autoimmune thyroid conditions).

Unless you are retesting a previous result, we recommend ordering our complete Thyroid Package.

This test requires a blood draw, which can be done at your local clinic. It will be analysed by an accredited lab, such as Karolinska, Synlab, or Unilabs. The first results are usually available within 48h.

Instructions

No advance preparation is needed for this test.

On the day of the test

Do not take your thyroid medication until after you have taken this test. Always take your ID with you when going to take a test. Do not work out before going to do this test, as this may affect your results. Take this test before 10 am, as results can vary throughout the day. If you are repeating a test, try to take it at the same time of day. Arrive early and sit down quietly for 15 minutes before the test is taken.

What happens next?

The lab sends the results to your personal dashboard, with comments from both a doctor and a nutritionist.  If results are abnormal, we recommend seeing a doctor and, if appropriate, booking an appointment with a Nordic Wellth nutrition lifestyle specialist. 

You may need to make lifestyle and dietary changes.
