Thyroid Disease Screening Package

Thyroid Disease Screening Package 
Getting tired easily, experiencing heart palpitations, or noticing unexplained weight changes? Screen for thyroid disease for early detection and timely treatment.

Have you been feeling unusually tired lately, even after getting enough rest? Do you experience episodes of rapid heartbeat or heart palpitations, or notice sudden weight gain or weight loss despite no changes to your diet?

Many people may attribute these symptoms to work-related stress or insufficient rest. The thyroid gland, a vital organ for metabolism-regulating hormones, may be signaling dysfunction.

Why is thyroid disease screening important?

Many thyroid disorders may not cause noticeable symptoms in the early stages or may present symptoms that resemble those of other common conditions. Thyroid screening can help detect abnormalities early, allowing doctors to develop a personalized, appropriate care plan and effectively minimize the risk of complications.

Recognize the warning signs. What symptoms indicate a thyroid disorder?

If you or your loved one experiences one or more of the following symptoms, it is important to monitor your health and consider thyroid screening:

• Easy fatigability, persistent tiredness, or having low energy even without significant physical exertion
• Unexplained weight changes (weight loss with normal eating habits or weight gain despite dietary control)
• Heart palpitations, a rapid heartbeat, or shortness of breath
• Changes in temperature sensitivity, such as feeling unusually cold, intolerance to heat, or excessive sweating
• Changes in skin and hair, including hair loss or unusually dry, brittle skin
• An enlarged neck, bulging eyes, or a palpable lump in the neck

Who should consider thyroid screening?

• Adults aged 35 years and older (particularly women, as they are at higher risk)
• Those who have a family history of thyroid disease or thyroid cancer
• Those with an autoimmune disease, such as type 1 diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or rheumatoid arthritis
• Pregnant individuals or those planning pregnancy
• Those with a lump in their necks, an enlarged thyroid (goiter), or a history of abnormal thyroid test results

Overview of thyroid disease screening package

Gain peace of mind about your thyroid health with a comprehensive screening package that includes five key assessments:

1. Physical Examination Overall health assessment and thyroid examination by a physician.
2. Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Measures the level of TSH produced by the pituitary gland to assess thyroid function.
3. Free Triiodothyronine (FT3) Evaluates the level of FT3, a primary thyroid hormone, to provide information about thyroid function.
4. Free Thyroxine (FT4) Determines the level of FT4 in the blood.
5. Ultrasound of the Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands Uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the thyroid gland, cysts, or nodules.
