The blood test TSH+T3+T4F is not specifically used to diagnose lupus. Instead, it is used to evaluate thyroid function. Here’s a breakdown of what each component measures:
- TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone): Higher levels can indicate that your thyroid isn’t working properly.
- T3 (Triiodothyronine) and T4F (Free Thyroxine): These measure thyroid hormones in your bloodstream, with low levels indicating a thyroid problem.
For lupus diagnosis, other tests such as ANA (Antinuclear Antibody) tests, complete blood count, urinalysis, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and complement levels are typically used.
If you have concerns about your test results, it’s best to discuss them with your doctor.
