The prostate gland, found only in males, is a component of the male reproductive system. PSA is a protein unique to the prostate gland and is detected in the blood serum. High levels indicate problems with the prostate ranging from acute inflammation to prostate cancer. Abnormal low levels are not a problem.
If your test result is between the 0.0 to 4.0 range, then you fall in the “normal” or reference range and will appear in the pink column. The prostate specific antigen may be elevated due to a number of conditions. If your test result is elevated, be sure to follow up with your doctor.
Hypothyroid Panel
Thyroxine (T4) T3 Uptake FT1 (T7)
Also known as the “T3, T4, and T7″ test. (For better understanding, also order the TSH test, a blood test, which tests the pituitary gland to see if it is putting out the hormone to trigger the thyroid to release its hormones. Both tests should be done.)
Thyroid Stim Hormone This measures the level of a hormone which stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid.
T4 (Thyroxine) Thyroxine is a thyroid hormone. This hormone controls your rate of metabolism. A low level of thyroxine suggests hypothyroidism or myxedema. A high level of thyroxine suggests hyperthyroidism or thyrotoxicosis.
T3 Uptake Evaluates the quantity of Thyroxine-binding globulin CTGB present in the serum and the quantity of T4 bound to it.
T7 index is simply a T4 plus T3.
If either your thyroid blood levels, or your thyroid stimulating hormone are outside of the reference range, please take your test to your physician for follow up.
