Blood Testing For Biodentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
Comprehensive Blood Panels Provide Baseline For Hormone Levels.
Comprehensive Hormone & Wellness Panels
For Women
The comprehensive hormone & wellness panel for women provides a baseline assessment of your thyroid, adrenal, metabolic, and general health. Using this hormone panel, we can identify thyroid issues, potential health risks, and low levels of testosterone and estrogen before starting hormone replacement therapy. Additionally, the panel includes information on liver and kidney function, as well as the number of red blood cells.
The panel includes the following tests:
- Estradiol
- FSH
- Testosterone (total)
- T3, free
- T4, total
- TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
- TPO (Thyroid Peroxidase)
- CBC (Complete Blood Count)
- Complete Metabolic Panel
- Vitamin D, 25-hydroxy
- Vitamin B12
The following optional tests are available for a more complete picture of your health:
- Lipid Panel
- Homocysteine
- A1C
- Reverse T3
- Anti-thyroglobulin antibody
For Men
For men, the comprehensive hormone & wellness panel offers a baseline assessment of sex hormones, thyroid function, adrenal function, metabolic function, and general health. Prior to starting testosterone replacement medication, this hormone panel can be used to diagnose primary or secondary testosterone shortage (hypogonadism), assess the health of the prostate, and spot any potential thyroid problems. We'll evaluate the results to determine if you are a candidate for hormone replacement therapy.
The panel includes the following tests:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Complete Metabolic Panel (CMP-14)
- Testosterone (free & total)
- Estradiol
- Prostatic Specific Antigen, total (PSA) ages 55-69 or high risk
- T3, free
- T4, total
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
- TPO or thyroid peroxidase
- Vitamin D, 25-hydroxy
- Vitamin B12
The following optional tests are available for a more complete picture of your health:
- Lipid Panel
- Homocysteine
- A1C
- Reverse T3
- Anti-thryoglobulin
Thyroid Hormone Panels
Complete Thyroid Panel
The metabolism of our bodies is regulated by thyroid hormones, which also have an impact on almost every organ system. They instruct organs on how quickly or slowly to function. The body's ability to produce heat and consume oxygen is also controlled by thyroid hormones. The metabolism can be significantly impacted by thyroid issues, such as an overactive or underactive thyroid. It's crucial to be aware of various thyroid disorders. Along with the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), our approach also involves thorough thyroid gland (TSH) testing. The body consumes energy more slowly than it should when the thyroid gland is not producing enough hormones. Hypothyroidism is the term used to describe this thyroid disorder. There are individualized drugs available to treat hypothyroidism.
Panels Include the following tests:
- TSH T4
- Free T3
- Reverse T3
- Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody (Anti-TPO)
