About Thyroid Tests in Encinitas
The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the neck that produces hormones affecting nearly every organ system.
Thyroid tests typically measure thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which signals the gland to produce hormones, along with free thyroxine (T4) and sometimes free triiodothyronine (T3).
Results can reveal an underactive thyroid, an overactive thyroid, or normal function. Because thyroid hormones influence heart rate, weight, mood, and body temperature, abnormal levels can produce a wide range of symptoms.
Testing is also used to monitor people who take thyroid medication or who have known thyroid conditions, and it can be part of a broader evaluation when symptoms suggest a hormonal or metabolic issue.
