| Usage: | The Jaanch Autoimmune Thyroid Screening Panel helps detect thyroid dysfunction and identify autoimmune conditions affecting the thyroid gland at an early stage. It includes 6 parameters to evaluate overall thyroid hormone balance and gland function. This panel is useful for individuals experiencing symptoms like fatigue, unexplained weight changes, hair loss, or hormonal imbalance, enabling timely diagnosis and better management of thyroid health.
Autoimmune thyroid disease is detected by measuring circulating antibodies against TPO & Tg. About 5-15 % of euthyroid women and 2% of euthyroid men have thyroid antibodies. These individuals are at increased risk of developing thyroid dysfunction. This assay quantitates the thyroid antibody levels as well as measures free thyroid hormone levels to assess complete thyroid function. Graves’ disease accounts for 60-80% of Thyrotoxicosis. The prevalence varies amongst populations reflecting genetic factors and iodine intake. Graves’ disease occurs in upto 2% of women but is 1/10th as frequent in men occurring between 20-50 years of age. The hyperthyroidism of Graves’ disease is caused by Thyroid receptor antibodies which helps to monitor the disease. These antibodies in pregnant Graves’ disease patients can cross the placental barrier and lead to Neonatal Thyrotoxicosis. |
