What is Tested and Why
Your report details normal thyroid hormone ranges, offering insights into your thyroid health. After receiving your results, schedule a telehealth consultation to discuss them with one of our board-certified endocrinologists for personalized treatment options.
TSH
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone
TSH is tested to assess how well the thyroid gland is functioning and to diagnose thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, as it regulates thyroid hormone production.
Free T4
Thyroxine
Free T4 is tested to evaluate thyroid gland function, particularly in the diagnosis and monitoring of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, reflecting the amount of active thyroid hormone produced by the thyroid gland.
Free T3
Triiodothyronine
Free T3 is measured to assess thyroid function, especially in cases where hyperthyroidism is suspected, as it provides a more direct measure of the active thyroid hormone levels in the body.
TPO
Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies
Testing for TPO antibodies helps diagnose autoimmune thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease, indicating an immune attack on the thyroid.

What tests are included in the at-home thyroid function test kit from Rousia?
Our recommended thyroid function test kit includes tests for Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Free T4 (Thyroxine), Free T3 (Triiodothyronine), and Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO antibodies).
It is important to note that reverse T3 (rT3) testing is not considered necessary for evaluating and managing thyroid conditions in the outpatient setting. See Thyroid Function Tests for more details.
Research shows that rT3 tests are primarily ordered by a small subset of practitioners, often within the functional medicine community. While Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) can play a role in patient care, it’s essential to choose a qualified CAM provider, just as you would a physician. For more information, visit the American Thyroid Association’s page on CAM and Thyroid Disease.
