Do you feel tired, hungover, dizzy or lack energy, maybe you have difficulty losing weight? Your friends and family have perhaps noticed that you have changed? It could be due to an imbalance in your thyroid. Then you are not alone - it is one of our most common diseases. Our test can give you answers to why you feel the way you do. If your thyroid is underactive, it affects the level of the hormone TSH in your blood. Previously, these tests could only be done at a health center, but thanks to new technology, you can now check yourself and get answers in a few minutes. Our European-made thyroid test is easy to do with a simple and painless prick of your finger. In just a few minutes, you will receive a reliable and clear message whether you have an underactive thyroid. The test shows positive when the TSH level is higher than 5μIU\/ml. \u003cstrong\u003eClick on “Watch Video” below to see how easy it is to test.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nThe thyroid test from Quicktest is very safe and reliable, and it is also \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/europa.eu\/youreurope\/business\/product\/ce-mark\/index_sv.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eCE marked\u003c\/a\u003eThe technology has been used in healthcare for about 10 years to quickly and easily detect changes in thyroid function in patients.\n\n\u003cem\u003eMore information about how Quicktest's thyroid test works can be found in the manual.\u003c\/em\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy should I test myself? \u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nIt can be difficult to detect a thyroid disease based on its symptoms alone, as the most common symptoms are very general. However, with a thyroid test, you will get a clear message about whether your weight fluctuations\/fatigue\/listlessness\/dizziness are due to a thyroid disorder or not. This means that you can more easily seek care and get the right treatment, which is important as some thyroid diseases can cause serious complications.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAre the tests really safe?\n\u003c\/strong\u003eYes absolutely. 90% of our production is for professional healthcare and various laboratories, our self-tests actually only originate from these and are basically the same. An important thing that distinguishes them is that the manuals for our self-tests are greatly simplified and thus adapted for those without medical training. However, the same strict requirements are placed on function, safety, reliability and EU directives for IVD tests. So you get a self-test that meets the same strict requirements as healthcare tests.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow common is it to do self-tests?\n\u003c\/strong\u003eIt's common and becoming more common. We've sent out over 50,000 tests, just in Sweden. Many people have actually received help after they've performed a self-test and received a positive result. Always take a photo of a positive result, it can be good information for your doctor.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow safe and reliable are your self-tests compared to taking tests at a health center?\n\u003c\/strong\u003eOur tests are reliable, however, it is important to understand how the tests work and what distinguishes them from, for example, laboratory tests. Simply put, it works like this: There are different types of self-tests, regardless of the type of test, a body fluid is required; some require blood, some urine, saliva and certain secretions from, for example, the vagina. When the body fluid comes into contact with the test, a reaction occurs and a result is displayed - positive or negative. A test that shows a positive or negative result is called a qualitative test, so you get a yes or no. The tests are \"pre-programmed\" with a so-called cut-off value, if the result is above or below a predetermined value, the test shows positive. The cut-off value is determined by the WHO (World Health Organization).\n\nA laboratory test gives a quantitative answer, i.e. you get a value. Our tests therefore give a positive or negative based on a limit value set by WHO. A laboratory gives a value, e.g. 5.6 ng\/ml ferritin. Our test would have, in this case, instead shown positive. The laboratory gives an exact answer.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eShould your self-tests be used to make a diagnosis?\n\u003c\/strong\u003eNo. Our tests are not used to make a diagnosis, they are used to give an indication. It is always a doctor who makes a diagnosis, this is often done after various tests and clinical examinations.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy should I use a self-test?\n\u003c\/strong\u003eThere are many answers to that question. Most of our customers feel that our tests have resulted in them finally receiving help from primary care, when a test indicates that something is not right, many feel that it is easier for them to get the help they are actually entitled to. Therefore, always take a photo of the result if it is positive and take it to the doctor.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow do you guarantee security\/reliability?\n\u003c\/strong\u003eBy following all the directives required for CE marking. This means, among other things, that we have ensured that manuals etc. are easy to understand - even for those without medical training. Our tests are also manufactured in Europe, which gives consumers extra security as the regulations for these tests are extensive.\n\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication information\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nFact-checked 2025-01-08 by\n\u003cem\u003eLeg Doctor Fredrik Lönnqvist\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eLeg Nurse\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"Quicktest Sverige","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57375002263936,"sku":"SKO701","price":159.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/9199\/2448\/files\/quicktest_skoldkorteltest_v3.jpg?v=1770665899"},{"product_id":"diabetestest-2-pack","title":"Diabetestest 2-pack","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTests for diabetes\u003c\/h2\u003e\nAre you urinating more than usual, perhaps you feel thirsty that doesn't go away when you drink?

The organ that controls the ketosis level is the liver, which is the one that releases ketone bodies into the blood. Exactly when the body is in ketosis can be difficult to know, and it is also individual. Therefore, it is becoming more common to continuously test your ketosis level. With the Quicktest X6 multi-tester, you can quickly and easily test ketosis, the result is obtained in one value. The test can be repeated if necessary.
