Introducing Advanced Thyroid Test: A Comprehensive Assessment for Thyroid Health
The Advanced Thyroid Test by GetTested measures four essential markers: TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone), fT3 (Free triiodothyronine), fT4 (Free Thyroxine), A-TPO (Antithyroid Peroxidase Antibodies), and A-TG (Antithyroglobulin Antibodies).
Understanding the Measured Markers
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): TSH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland, and it plays a vital role in regulating the thyroid gland’s activity. It stimulates the thyroid to produce and release thyroid hormones (T3 and T4). Abnormal TSH levels can indicate an overactive or underactive thyroid, which may lead to various health issues.
fT3 (Free Triiodothyronine): It measures the levels of free triiodothyronine, another essential thyroid hormone that, alongside fT4, is crucial in regulating the body’s energy and metabolism.
fT4 (Free Thyroxine): fT4 represents the portion of thyroid hormone that circulates freely in the bloodstream, not bound to proteins. It is a crucial component in evaluating thyroid function, as it directly affects metabolism, energy levels, and overall well-being. Monitoring fT4 levels helps assess the thyroid’s ability to produce and regulate thyroid hormones properly.
A-TPO (Antithyroid Peroxidase Antibodies): A-TPO are antibodies that target and attack the thyroid gland’s peroxidase enzyme, which is essential for producing thyroid hormones. The presence of A-TPO can indicate autoimmune thyroid diseases, such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, which may lead to an underactive thyroid.
A-TG (Antithyroglobulin Antibodies): A-TG are antibodies that target thyroglobulin, a protein used in the production of thyroid hormones. Elevated A-TG levels can also indicate autoimmune thyroid diseases and may contribute to thyroid dysfunction.

GetTested is here to empower you with knowledge, so you can take proactive steps towards better health.
Before you start, you need to register your test. Your test kit contains a sticker with your unique test ID. Register your test ID at 
Wash your hands in hot water for about a minute. This will increase blood circulation in your fingers. Dry your hands. Doing a blood test without stimulating blood circulation might prove difficult, so please do not skip this step.
Disinfect your “test finger” with the supplied disinfectant paper. Wait a few seconds until the finger is completely dry.
Rotate the protective cover on the blood lancet to remove it. Use the extra lancet if you need to do another finger prick.
Place your hand on a flat surface. Put the lancet diagonally toward the test finger and press down the button. Make sure the lancet is pressed against the finger the whole time.
We recommend that you stand up at this stage to let the blood in your arm flow downward. Help the blood drops come out by massaging the finger toward the needle stick.
Transfer the blood drops into the test tube until the blood reaches the marked line. If it doesn’t reach the marked line, there won’t be enough blood for the lab to test. Please contact us if you have any trouble.
Place the sticker with your unique test ID on the test tube. Place the test tube inside the transport tube and seal.
Put the tubes in the enclosed envelope and send it to the lab the same day, preferably a Monday or Tuesday.
