VIDAS® Thyroid panel

A full panel for the investigation of thyroid diseases

The VIDAS® Thyroid panel includes 8 automated tests to aid clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of thyroid disorders.

• Large panel: TSH, TSH3, FT4,T4, FT3, T3, Anti-TPO, Anti-Tg

• Flexible and cost-effective solution

• Adapted to small routine testing

OVERVIEW

The VIDAS® Thyroid panel helps clinicians eliminate a thyroid pathology from diagnosis, confirm a clinically suspected thyroid dysfunction, identify the type and cause of a thyroid disease or monitor patients treated with synthetic anti-thyroid drugs or thyroxin as a substitute. All tests of the panel are based on the ELFA (Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay) technique.

The full thyroid profile

Thorough investigation of thyroid disorders requires the use of a full panel of thyroid function tests. While sensitive TSH, FT4 and FT3 assays are key for identifying, understanding and monitoring thyroid disorders, second-line auto-antibody tests such as Anti-TPO and Anti-Tg provide useful information about disease etiology.

Flexibility and Cost control
