Vitamin D Test / Prueba de Vitamina D
Vitamin D influences so many functions in the body and if Vitamin D is low, it can be easily adjusted and resolve many issues. (approximately $620 mxn)
Serum Thyroid Profile / Perfil Tiroideo en Suero
Thyroid function tests, is a set of tests that are performed on blood to assess the functioning of the thyroid gland, which is responsible for secreting thyroid hormones. These laboratory tests allow diagnosing alterations in this gland and assessing its evolution. Choose either the 3 or 6 panel.
Basic 3 Thyroid Panel:
Free T3, Free T4, and TSH / Triiodotironina libre (T3 libre), Tiroxina libre (T4 libre), Hormona Estimulante de Tiroides (TSH) are the most important for initial evaluation (approximately $370 mxn)
