The SELFCHECK Thyroid Health test kit offers a convenient and easy-to-use solution for those concerned about their thyroid health. Thyroid disorders, particularly an under active thyroid (hypothyroidism), are increasingly common, especially among women. Symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, brittle hair, depression, forgetfulness, and irregular periods in women.
TSH Test results
The test measures the level of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), which is produced by the pituitary gland and regulates thyroid function.
- A TSH level greater than 5mIU/L is an indicator of an underactive thyroid
- A level less than 5mIU/L is considered normal.
How accurate is the test?
The SELFCHECK Thyroid Health Test is accurate and has been shown to agree with laboratory test results. It is CE accredited according to the Medical Device Directive 98/79EC for testing at home.
How to perform the test?
To perform the test, a finger prick blood sample is required, which can be easily obtained using the provided sterile automatic finger pricker. Results are available in 10 minutes and are displayed on the test cassette as either less than or greater than the 5mIU/L TSH cut-off.
What does the result tell me?
If the result is positive, it indicates the possibility of an underactive thyroid and further testing is recommended.
