Immunoassay tests

TSH tests to assess thyroid function and diagnose thyroid disorders like hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).  

The Thyroid Profile Total (T3, T4 & TSH) measures the levels of triiodothyronine hormone (T3) total, thyroxine hormone (T4) total, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in the blood. In hypothyroidism (low levels of T3 and T4), the pituitary gland responds by increasing TSH secretion to stimulate the thyroid gland.

In hyperthyroidism (elevated T3 and T4 levels), TSH secretion is suppressed to decrease thyroid activity.

The serum levels of the thyroid hormones and TSH have an inverse relationship, i.e., low T4 and T3 (as observed in hypothyroidism) and high T4 and T3 (as seen in hyperthyroidism) levels are associated with high and low TSH levels, respectively. 

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that plays a vital role in sexual development and reproduction. It is crucial for the growth of follicles in the ovaries. 

LH triggers ovulation and the formation of the corpus luteum.  

Irregular or absent periods and difficulty conceiving can be related to elevated prolactin levels. 

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a protein produced by the granulosa cells of the ovaries, and its levels in the blood are used to assess ovarian reserve, which is the remaining number of eggs a woman has.  

Irregular or absent periods and difficulty conceiving can be related to elevated prolactin levels. 

Irregular or absent periods and difficulty conceiving can be related to elevated prolactin levels. 

Testosterone plays a crucial role in male fertility, primarily by supporting sperm production and sexual function
