Standard thyroid screening typically includes only TSH and sometimes Free T4 — but many thyroid conditions require a deeper look. This panel includes all seven clinically relevant thyroid markers. TSH and Free T4 assess the basic thyroid axis. Free T3 measures the most metabolically active thyroid hormone. Reverse T3 detects conversion problems where T4 is shunted to the inactive form (common in chronic stress, inflammation, and dieting). TPO and Thyroglobulin antibodies screen for Hashimoto's thyroiditis — the most common cause of hypothyroidism — and Graves' disease. T3 Uptake evaluates binding protein capacity. This is the panel for anyone with thyroid symptoms that haven't been fully explained by basic screening.
Comprehensive thyroid evaluation beyond standard: TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, TPO Antibodies, Thyroid Antibodies, plus T3 Uptake. The most complete single-draw thyroid workup.
Patients with persistent thyroid symptoms despite 'normal' TSH, complex thyroid disease workup, suspected T3 toxicosis or central hypothyroidism, autoimmune thyroiditis evaluation, or fine-tuning replacement therapy.

8 across 7 tests
7 individual tests · 8 biomarkers measured — each test linked so you can learn more.
No fasting required. If on thyroid medication, take your dose after the blood draw.
The short answer
Yes when a basic TSH came back borderline, symptoms persist despite a normal TSH, or you're working up suspected Hashimoto's — this is the full 7-marker picture (TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, TPO and thyroglobulin antibodies). For routine screening, start with TSH alone.
We would rather you order the right test than the most expensive one.
One tube, available at-home or in-lab. Morning draws are best for comparability; if you take thyroid medication, draw BEFORE your dose that day (note it either way).
The markers that matter most and what an out-of-range value can mean. Reference ranges vary by lab, age and sex.
| Marker | Typical range | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| TSH | ~0.4–4.5 mIU/L | The pituitary's signal — high suggests an underactive thyroid, low an overactive one. |
| Free T4 / Free T3 | ~0.8–1.8 ng/dL / ~2.3–4.2 pg/mL | The actual circulating hormones. Low-normal T3 with symptoms is a common conversion discussion point. |
| Reverse T3 | ~9–24 ng/dL | Elevated rT3 can reflect illness, stress, or dieting shunting conversion away from active T3. |
| TPO antibodies | Below ~34 IU/mL (lab-dependent) | Elevated TPO is the hallmark of Hashimoto's and can precede TSH changes by years. |
