Canine hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder impacting a dog's metabolism and overall well-being. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and improving patient quality of life. The Tashikin Canine TSH (cTSH) Test Kit offers a highly sensitive and specific fluorescence immunoassay solution, enabling veterinarians to precisely measure cTSH levels and confidently assess thyroid function. This quantitative test aids in differentiating primary hypothyroidism from other conditions, guiding appropriate treatment strategies.
Your Path to a Confident Diagnosis:
Identify Hypothyroidism Risk
Quickly screen dogs presenting with clinical signs such as lethargy, weight gain, or dermatological issues suggestive of thyroid dysfunction.
Confirm Diagnosis & Differentiate
Accurately measure cTSH levels to confirm primary hypothyroidism and distinguish it from euthyroid sick syndrome or secondary hypothyroidism.
Monitor Treatment Efficacy
Regularly assess cTSH levels to ensure optimal thyroid hormone replacement therapy and adjust dosages as needed for improved patient outcomes.
