(Medical-NewsWire.com, October 04, 2012 ) Bucharest, Romania -- Recent studies indicate that more than 27 million people in US only are confronted with thyroid problems, half of which are left undiagnosed. Because many of the symptoms are common indicators of other medical conditions as well, such as fatigue, poor memory, hair loss, depression, weight gain, anxiety and insomnia, many physicians fail to diagnose thyroid problems in time.
Wellness and medical blog HealBlog.net reveals that most thyroid tests, even when such tests are considered necessary and are requested by doctors, are not accurate. In one of the most recent articles published on the HealBlog.net called ‘What Is a Normal TSH Level?’, it is revealed that the most common tests for thyroid problems, including the Total T4, T7, Total T3 or T3-by RIA are not accurate or reliable with regard to diagnosing hypothyroidism, a condition characterized by TSH levels too high.
Left untreated, high TSH levels will, most often result in hypertension and also a high lipid count. Heart damage and decreased heart rate are also possible complications, as well as stroke, coronary heart disease and heart failure. In fact, studies have shown that patients with subclinical hypothyroidism have demonstrated 41% increase in mortality compared to people with normal thyroid functions and TSH levels.
Since most tests are not accurate and affections such as hypothyroidism cannot be diagnosed in a timely manner, how should patients have their TSH level measured in order to determine if there’s really a problem? healblog gives a straight answer: the saliva test, which can be done by patients at their home, just by examining their bodies carefully. Upon noticing mood changes, cold hands, thin hair, fatigue, heavy periods or forgetfulness, individuals can take a saliva test at their home and have their results interpreted by a specialist.
“The lack of test accuracy is literally killing people all over the world. Many individuals with treatable thyroid disorders are denied both diagnosis and treatment because tests don’t confirm there is a problem. Further to that, those who are diagnosed with thyroid problems are denied full or the most effective treatment for the same reason. Aside from being almost useless, blood testing is also expensive, painful and inconvenient. Therefore, patients suspected of thyroid problems prefer to resort to saliva testing, commonly carried out in the comfort of their homes, using home testing kits. It’s cheaper and far more accurate”, said spokesperson and editor for HealBlog.net.
