Where to do a thyroid check-up in Tangier?

The thyroid check-up: an essential examination in Tangier

The thyroid is a small gland located at the base of the neck that plays a fundamental role in the body's metabolism. Thyroid dysfunction can affect energy, weight, mood and even fertility. At the Tangier International Laboratory, we carry out complete thyroid assessments daily with reliable results.

What does a thyroid test include?

The standard thyroid test includes three main dosages:

• TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone): this is the most important marker. A high level suggests hypothyroidism, a low level suggests hyperthyroidism.
• Free T4 (Thyroxine): hormone directly produced by the thyroid. Its dosage completes the interpretation of TSH.
• Free T3 (Triiodothyronine): active form of thyroid hormone in tissues.

When should you have a thyroid check-up?

Your doctor can prescribe this assessment in the event of:

• Persistent and unexplained fatigue
• Weight gain or loss for no apparent reason
• Mood disorders (anxiety, depression)
• Heart palpitations
• Fertility problems or menstrual cycle disorders
• Family history of thyroid disease

Women are more affected

Thyroid disorders are 5 to 8 times more common in women than in men. Screening is especially recommended during pregnancy, as untreated hypothyroidism can affect fetal development.
