As a family practice physician, an ob/gyn, an internist, an osteopath, a psychiatrist, there are patients in your waiting room who have all the symptoms of hypothyroidism.
A blood test for elevated TSH is the only way you will know for certain. Test with ThyroChek first. 85 to 90% of your patients will have TSH less than 5mIU/L. They won't need to go to the lab for further testing today. If you find that hard to believe, review the charts of your 20 latest patients who were sent to the lab.
If you are a qualifying medical professional, we invite you to participate in a free trial kit of ThyroChek and view our special report "How To Improve Patient Care and Increase Earnings with TSH Point-Of-Care Testing"
Yes - I’m interested in evaluating how rapid TSH“Based on the less-than-1% discordance rate between sTSH and FT4 results, an sTSH level alone is adequate to screen outpatients for thyroid dysfunction. Ordering the sTSH alone,initially, followed by FT4 in only those cases of abnormal sTSH, will significantly decrease unnecessary testing and expense.”
