About
ThyroChek
ThyroChek,
developed by doctors, tests for elevated
thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in
whole blood. Elevated TSH is the first
clinical indicator of hypothyroidism.
ThyroChek
is a rapid immunoassay that is easy
to use, cost effective and accurate.
It is ideal for physician office labs,
pharmacy programs and health promotion.
ThyroChek
is CLIA waived and may be performed
in either waived or moderately complex
facilities without special staff training.
ThyroChek requires one drop of blood
from a finger stick or venous draw.
The result is available in 10 minutes.
Two pink lines indicate a positive result
- TSH level is greater than 5 mIU/L.
This cut-off is the current WHO standard
for the indication of hypothyroidism
in adults. One pink line indicates a
negative result - TSH level is less
than 5mIU/L.
Why
Test for Hypothyroidism?
There are 27 million Americans who have
overactive or underactive thyroids.
Half remain undiagnosed; over 90% of
them will have underactive thyroids,
or hypothyroidism. The thyroid is the
small, butterfly-shaped gland just below
the Adam’s apple. It produces hormones
that influence every organ, tissue and
cell of the body. If the thyroid does
not work, the body doesn't work well
either. Thyroid disease is genetic.
Left untreated, hypothyroidism can cause
elevated cholesterol, infertility, muscle
weakness, osteoporosis, lupus and a
range of other autoimmune diseases.
Fifteen to 20 percent of people with
diabetes have siblings or parents that
are likely to develop thyroid disease.
ThyroChek helps you as a doctor, a pharmacist
or a wellness provider to answer the
question: Could it be the thyroid? Information

of Clinical Endocrinologists.
