Thyroid tests

[Jeff]

Does everyone get thyroid and other autoimmune tests done at least every year at clinic?

Just curious.

Taylor has full screening done every year including thyroid and coeliac as well as the usual.

My son has only a thyroid test done once a year.

Yes thyroid, celiac, full lipid panel, and we try to do a 24 hour urine test for microalbuminuria every year.

Taylor hits the 5th anniversary next month and I believe that we then begin the 24 hour urine check once a year too.

Shannon gets tested for thyroid (and the regular yearly labs - lipids, microalbumin etc) every year but they don't test for other autoimmune things like celiac, addison's etc, unless there are symptoms or they are otherwise suspicious.

Yes.
Thyroid disease and Thyroid cancer run in both sides of my family, so my mom has my sister and I get checked out once a year.

Thyroid, Celiac, lipid panel, and urine for microalbuminia each year. There may be more, but those are tests that are done yearly and are mandatory at our Endo office.
