Ordering the Adrenal Thyroid Test | Europe
The Adrenal Thyroid Test | Europe helps check how your adrenal and thyroid glands are working together, which can affect energy, mood, and how your body handles stress. Interestingly, this test can also show if your body is having trouble making or using certain hormones, which may not always show up in regular blood tests.
Ordering this test can help you:
- Find out if your cortisol and DHEA levels are balanced
- Check if your thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) are in the right range
- Spot early signs of hormone imbalance before symptoms get worse
- Track changes in your hormone levels over time
- Get clear answers about unexplained tiredness or mood changes
Who Should Consider Hormone and Thyroid Panel Testing
People who feel tired even after a full night’s sleep, notice changes in their hair or skin, or have trouble with weight that doesn’t match their eating or activity habits may benefit from this test. For example, someone who has been feeling more anxious, has noticed their hair thinning, and is struggling to fall asleep at night could use this test to check if hormone changes are part of the problem.
Ordering this test may also be helpful if you:
- Have noticed your nails becoming brittle or breaking easily
- Experience mood swings or feel down without a clear reason
- Have a family history of thyroid or autoimmune issues
- Are dealing with unexplained weight gain or loss
- Recently started a new exercise routine and feel more tired than expected, which can sometimes be linked to hormone shifts
Checking your hormone and thyroid levels can help you find out if your symptoms are linked to changes in cortisol, DHEA, or thyroid hormones, which can be measured and tracked over time. Waiting to order this test could mean missing early signs of hormone changes that are easier to manage when caught sooner.
Preparing for Adrenal and Thyroid Function Testing
Fasting is not needed for this test, but it’s best to collect your samples at the times listed in your kit instructions for the most useful results. Always follow any directions your doctor or healthcare provider gives you to make sure your samples are collected the right way.
Labs Included When Ordering Your Adrenal Thyroid Test
| Test Name | Reference Range | What This Test Shows | Low and High Levels of Adrenal Thyroid Test |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cortisol (Saliva) | Morning: 3.7-9.5 Afternoon: 1.2-3.0 Evening: 0.6-1.9 Night: 0.4-1.0 |
Cortisol is a hormone made by your adrenal glands that helps your body respond to stress and control blood sugar. Testing at different times of day shows if your body is making the right amount when you need it. |
High levels mean your body may be under stress or your adrenal glands are working too hard.
Low levels mean your adrenal glands may not be making enough cortisol, which can cause tiredness and low energy. |
| DHEA (Saliva) | Women: 2.0-10.0 Men: 3.0-10.0 |
DHEA is a hormone made by the adrenal glands that helps make other hormones, like estrogen and testosterone. It can affect mood, energy, and how your body handles stress. |
High levels mean your body may be making too many male hormones, which can cause acne or hair changes.
Low levels mean your adrenal glands may be slowing down, which can lead to tiredness and low mood. |
| Urinary T3 | 0.20-0.50 | T3 is a thyroid hormone that helps control how your body uses energy. Checking T3 in urine can show if your thyroid is making enough of this hormone for your body’s needs. |
High levels mean your thyroid may be working too fast, which can cause weight loss or a fast heartbeat.
Low levels mean your thyroid may be slow, which can cause tiredness, weight gain, or feeling cold. |
Reference ranges may change slightly over time as labs update their guidelines. Always check your report for the most current ranges.
