TSH (sensitiv)
Der Biomarker TSH (sensitiv) ist ein wichtiger Indikator für die Schilddrüsenfunktion. Ein erhöhter TSH-Wert kann auf eine Schilddrüsenunterfunktion hinweisen, während ein niedriger Wert auf eine Überfunktion hindeuten kann. Die genaue Bestimmung des TSH-Werts ist daher entscheidend für die Diagnose und Behandlung von Schilddrüsenerkrankungen.
fT3
Der Biomarker fT3 ist ein wichtiger Indikator für die Schilddrüsenfunktion. Er misst den freien Triiodthyronin-Spiegel im Blut und gibt Aufschluss über den Stoffwechsel und die Energieproduktion im Körper. Ein erhöhter oder erniedrigter fT3-Wert kann auf eine Schilddrüsenüber- oder unterfunktion hinweisen und ist daher ein wichtiger Parameter für die Diagnose und Behandlung von Schilddrüsenerkrankungen.
fT4
Der Biomarker fT4, auch bekannt als freies Thyroxin, ist ein wichtiger Indikator für die Schilddrüsenfunktion. Ein erhöhter fT4-Spiegel kann auf eine Schilddrüsenüberfunktion hinweisen, während ein niedriger Spiegel auf eine Unterfunktion hindeuten kann. Die regelmäßige Überwachung des fT4-Spiegels ist daher entscheidend für die Diagnose und Behandlung von Schilddrüsenerkrankungen.
Thyreoglobulin (Tg)
Thyreoglobulin ist ein Protein, das in der Schilddrüse produziert wird und eine Rolle bei der Herstellung von Schilddrüsenhormonen spielt. Erhöhte Werte können auf Schilddrüsenerkrankungen wie Schilddrüsenkrebs oder eine Entzündung der Schilddrüse hinweisen.

After never being able to bring myself to make an appointment with my doctor, I finally checked my HbA1c level with Probatix.

All in all, a good concept. The results were precise and came quicker than expected. However, I would have liked a few more explanations of the values in the app.

At first my friends and I wanted to measure our testosterone levels for fun, and then we suddenly became really excited about the topic. Now I pay much more attention to my body - this was my fourth test!

I got a voucher by chance and didn't know what to think of it at first. But then I noticed how easy it is to incorporate the test into everyday life. I've already given two vouchers to friends - they were also thrilled!
