Thyroid Profile

A thyroid profile is a blood test panel that measures thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) along with free T3 and T4 hormone levels to evaluate how well the thyroid gland is functioning. It helps diagnose conditions such as hypothyroidism, where the gland is underactive, and hyperthyroidism, where it is overactive, both of which can cause a wide range of symptoms affecting metabolism, energy levels, weight and heart rate. The test is also used to monitor patients already on thyroid hormone replacement or anti-thyroid medication to ensure their dose remains appropriate.
