About ThyroChek
ThyroChek,
developed by doctors, tests for elevated thyroid stimulating hormone
(TSH) in whole blood. Elevated TSH is the first clinical indicator
of hypothyroidism.
ThyroChek is
a rapid immunoassay that is easy to use, cost effective and accurate.
It is ideal for physician office labs, pharmacy programs and health
promotion.
ThyroChek is
CLIA waived and may be performed in either waived or moderately
complex facilities without special staff training. ThyroChek requires
one drop of blood from a finger stick or venous draw. The result
is available in 10 minutes.
Two pink lines
indicate a positive result - TSH level is greater than 5 mIU/L.
This cut-off is the current WHO standard for the indication of hypothyroidism
in adults. One pink line indicates a negative result - TSH level
is less than 5mIU/L.
Why Test
for Hypothyroidism?
There are 27 million Americans who have overactive or underactive
thyroids. Half remain undiagnosed; over 90% of them will have underactive
thyroids, or hypothyroidism. The thyroid is the small, butterfly-shaped
gland just below the Adam’s apple. It produces hormones that influence
every organ, tissue and cell of the body. If the thyroid does not
work, the body doesn't work well either. Thyroid disease is genetic.
Left untreated, hypothyroidism can cause elevated cholesterol, infertility,
muscle weakness, osteoporosis, lupus and a range of other autoimmune
diseases. Fifteen to 20 percent of people with diabetes have siblings
or parents that are likely to develop thyroid disease. ThyroChek
helps you as a doctor, a pharmacist or a wellness provider to answer
the question: Could it be the thyroid? Information on this site
is from www.aace.com, the website of the American Association of
Clinical Endocrinologists.
