Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Hypothyroidism can be best diagnosed through a series of tests, starting with a Thyroid Profile. 

Thyroid Profile: This includes measuring Serum TSH, T3, and T4 levels, with elevated TSH often indicating hypothyroidism.

Anti-TPO Antibody Test: Conducted when autoimmune thyroid disorders like Hashimoto's thyroiditis are suspected, as elevated Anti-TPO antibodies can indicate autoimmune thyroid issues.

Thanks
