Hashimoto's Blood Tests - 9 Tests EVERYONE Needs

9 Hashimoto's blood tests that every patient with Hashimoto's thyroiditis should get. These tests are required to check for immune function, thyroid function, inflammation, and much more. Every patient with Hashimoto's should get them.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a condition which causes low thyroid function but it is different from run of the mill hypothyroidism.

And because it is different, you should not evaluate it in the same way that you would evaluate regular hypothyroidism.

If you have Hashimoto's there are certain tests BEYOND those which are used to diagnose thyroid function that you should be aware of and that you should get.

Getting these Hashimoto's lab tests and blood tests will help you figure out how well your immune system is working, which nutrient deficiencies may be playing a role in your thyroid function, and also give you an idea as to how advanced your Hashimoto's disease is.

Get THESE lab tests if you have Hashimoto's and, in fact, I recommend that all patients with thyroid disease get these labs as well (even if you don't know if you have Hashimoto's).

9 Blood tests to get with Hashimoto's include:

#1. Anti tpo antibodies
#2. Thyroglobulin antibodies
#3. ESR
#4. CRP
#5. Vitamin D
#6. TSH
#7. Free T3
#8. Free T4
#9. Reverse T3
