Thyroid Profile

Thyroid Profile's Overview

The Thyroid Function Test (TFT) is a comprehensive blood test used to evaluate the functioning of the thyroid gland. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck that plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, energy levels, body temperature, heart rate, and hormonal balance. A TFT helps detect thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).

Thyroid imbalance can affect weight, mood, menstrual cycles, fertility, cholesterol levels, and overall well-being. Since thyroid disorders often develop gradually and may not show clear symptoms in early stages, a Thyroid Function Test is commonly recommended during routine health checkups or when symptoms suggest hormonal imbalance.

Parameters Included in Thyroid Function Test (TFT)

A standard Thyroid Profile (TFT) typically includes the following parameters:

• Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) – Primary screening test that regulates thyroid hormone production
• T3 (Triiodothyronine) – Active thyroid hormone that controls metabolism
• T4 (Thyroxine) – Main hormone produced by the thyroid gland

In some cases, doctors may also advise additional thyroid tests such as:

• Free Total T3
• Free Total T4
• Anti-TPO Antibodies (for autoimmune thyroid disorders)
