Good time management makes your practice a monetary success.
If you suspect hypothyroidism, test with CLIA waived ThyroChek. Symptoms are common to many health problems. ThyroChek will let you know if TSH is greater than 5mIU/L, the first clinical indicator of hypothyroidism - in your office - in 10 minutes.

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.

“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.”
