Description

The Newfoundland Thyroid Test Kit is a simple, reliable at-home self-test that measures thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels in your blood to help detect an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) with results in just 10 minutes.

Ideal for anyone experiencing signs of hypothyroidism such as fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, or mood changes - or those with risk factors including a family history of thyroid disease, autoimmune conditions, high cholesterol, or mental health changes. Also suitable for women over 60 or those planning pregnancy.

Each kit includes:

  • Test cassette
  • Capillary dropper
  • Buffer solution
  • Lancet, plaster & alcohol wipe
  • Easy-to-follow instructions
    (You will need a timer for accurate results.)

Who is this test for?

Individuals with symptoms of hypothyroidism including:

• Fatigue and weakness
• Weight gain
• Cold intolerance
• Dry skin and hair
• Hair loss
• Constipation
• Depression
• Muscle weakness and cramps
• Swelling in the face and neck

People with risk factors

• Family History: those with a family history of thyroid disease.
• Women Over 60: hypothyroidism is more common in older women.
• Pregnant Women or those planning pregnancy: thyroid function is crucial for foetal development and pregnancy health.
• Autoimmune disorders: individuals with conditions like type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or lupus are at higher risk.
• History of thyroid issues or surgery: those who have had thyroid problems or thyroid surgery in the past.
• Certain Medications: those taking medications that can affect thyroid function, such as lithium or amiodarone.

Individuals with other health conditions

• High cholesterol: thyroid dysfunction can affect cholesterol levels.
• Mental health issues: depression, anxiety, and cognitive problems can sometimes be linked to thyroid issues.
• Cardiovascular problems: thyroid hormone imbalances can influence heart health.

Frequently Asked Question

1. What do home thyroid test kits measure?
Most kits measure Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), and many also include Free Thyroxine (FT4) and Free Triiodothyronine (FT3). Some advanced kits may also test for thyroid antibodies (like TPO antibodies), which can indicate autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto's or Graves' disease.

2. How accurate are home thyroid test kits?
When sourced from reputable, CLIA-certified labs, home thyroid test kits can be quite accurate for the biomarkers they measure. However, they provide a snapshot and may not offer the comprehensive analysis a doctor's ordered lab test provides.

3. How should I prepare for the test?
Preparation typically involves following the kit's instructions carefully. Some tests may require fasting for a certain period, and it's crucial to inform your healthcare provider about any medications (especially thyroid hormones) or supplements (like biotin) you are taking, as they can interfere with results.

4. When should I consider using a home thyroid test kit?
These kits are often considered if you are experiencing symptoms of thyroid dysfunction (e.g., unexplained weight changes, fatigue, mood swings, hair loss, sensitivity to temperature), have a family history of thyroid issues, or want to monitor existing thyroid conditions.

5. What do my results mean, and what should I do if they are abnormal?
Kit results will usually indicate if your levels are within, above, or below the normal reference range. An abnormal result (high TSH, low FT4/FT3 for hypothyroidism; low TSH, high FT4/FT3 for hyperthyroidism) strongly suggests a thyroid issue. It's essential to consult a healthcare provider immediately if your results are abnormal, as further tests and medical guidance are necessary for diagnosis and treatment.
