A female post-menopause blood chemistry panel should include pertinent thyroid hormone assessment assays as well as sex hormone biomarkers, lipid biomarkers, inflammatory biomarkers, and bone mineral density assessments.
Yes, you’ve listed important biomarkers to include in a comprehensive female post-menopause thyroid lab panel, e.g., free and total T3 and T4, FTI, T3 Uptake, TSH, reverse T3, thyroglobulin antibodies, TPO antibodies, AM cortisol, progesterone, SHBG, total testosterone, estradiol, and estrone.
You may want to add a lipid panel with subfractionation of lipoproteins, DHEA, hs-CRP, IL-6, D-dimer, fibrinogen, and bone mineral density assessments as well, along with a comprehensive metabolic panel and CBC with differential. To monitor transition into menopause you may want to add FSH, LH, and anti-mullerian hormone.
