About Thyroid Tests in Poway
The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the neck that regulates metabolism, heart rate, and body temperature.
Thyroid tests typically measure thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which signals the thyroid to produce hormones, along with free T4 and sometimes free T3, the active forms of thyroid hormone.
Because the pituitary gland adjusts TSH output in response to thyroid hormone levels, an abnormal TSH result often provides the first clue to an underactive or overactive thyroid.
Results are interpreted together rather than in isolation, and reference ranges can vary by laboratory, so trends over time are often as informative as a single measurement.
