SELFCHECK Prostate Health Test Kit

SELFCHECK Prostate Health Test Kit - Finger-prick blood test - Results in 10 minutes - Test at home - Shows if the level of PSA is higher than normal - 87% agreement with laboratory tests - Assembled in the UK The SELFCHECK Prostate Health Test is a simple way for men to find out whether the level of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in your blood is elevated. Although PSA is regarded as a marker for prostate cancer, a high PSA level is more likely to be due to other problems such as prostatitis, an enlarged prostate or a urine infection. Before you decide to have a PSA test, it is important to be aware that about 3 in 4 men with a raised PSA level will not have cancer and around 1 in 7 men with a normal PSA level will have prostate cancer. Nevertheless, if you have an elevated result, you are encouraged to speak with your doctor. See the pros and cons of PSA testing below. The SELFCHECK Prostate Health Test (PSA Test), is an easy to use finger prick blood spot home test that detects raised levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) associated with abnormalities of the prostate gland. Health issues related to the prostate gland become more common as men get older. To use your SELFCHECK Prostate Health Test, you will need to use one of the single-use finger prickers supplied to obtain a blood sample, and apply to the lateral flow test cassette. One line on the test cassette results window means a negative result, and two lines means a positive result. - Results in 10 minutes - Over 87% agreement with laboratory PSA tests* - Contains 1 test - Ensure you are aware of the pros and cons of PSA testing before you decide to test. Pros: - it may reassure you if the test result is normal - it can find early signs of cancer, meaning you can get treated early - PSA testing may reduce your risk of dying if you do have cancer Cons: - it can miss some cancers and provide false reassurance - it may lead to unnecessary worry and medical tests if there's no cancer - it cannot tell the difference between slow-growing and fast-growing cancers - it may make you worry by finding a slow-growing cancer that may never cause any problems - In the UK, men over 50 years without symptoms, can request a PSA test from their doctor.

SELFCHECK Thyroid (TSH) Test Kit

SELFCHECK Thyroid (TSH) Test Kit

SELFCHECK Thyroid (TSH) Test Kit - Finger-prick blood test - Results in 10 minutes - 98% agreement with laboratory tests - Test at home - Shows if your TSH level is higher than normal - Assembled in the UK The SELFCHECK Thyroid Health test kit is easy to use and will show in minutes whether or not you are likely to have an under active thyroid. Thyroid disorders are one of the most prevalent medical conditions in the world particularly for women, with an increasing number suffering from an under active thyroid gland (hypothyroidism). The symptoms of an under active thyroid include feeling tired, weight gain, dry skin, brittle hair, feeling depressed and becoming forgetful. Some people with an under active thyroid also suffer from constipation and women may have irregular periods. Thyroid stimulating hormone, also known as TSH, is secreted from the pituitary gland and regulates the function of the thyroid. A higher than normal TSH level can be an indicator of an under active thyroid gland and this is why doctors will often request a measurement of your blood TSH levels. TSH is one of several thyroid markers used by doctors to confirm an underactive thyroid gland. TSH test results The TSH test shows whether your TSH levels are normal or too high. - A TSH level less than 5mIU/L indicates normal TSH levels and your symptoms are unlikely to be due to an underactive thyroid - A TSH level more than 5mIU/L indicates that your TSH level is high and you may have an under active thyroid. You should speak with your doctor for further tests How accurate is the test? This test has been used for over 10 years by healthcare professionals in hospital laboratories, and shows an overall agreement of more than 98% when compared with laboratory reference methods. How does the test work? A finger prick blood spot is required and is obtained by using the sterile automatic finger pricker provided with the test kit. The test takes 10 minutes to complete when your result will be displayed on the test cassette as less than or greater than the cut-off of 5mIU/L of TSH. What does the result tell me? The test shows whether you could be suffering from an under active thyroid (hypothyroidism). If you have a positive result speak to your doctor who can arrange for further thyroid function tests to identify the reason for your under active thyroid. Contains 1 test.
