About Test

The Thyroid Profile Test is a blood test used to evaluate how well your thyroid gland is functioning. The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck that controls metabolism, energy levels, and overall hormonal balance.

This test measures three key hormones:

TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
T3 (Triiodothyronine)
T4 (Thyroxine)

TSH regulates the production of T3 and T4, which in turn control how your body uses energy. Any imbalance in these hormones can affect multiple body functions including heart rate, weight, mood, and body temperature.

The Thyroid Profile Test helps diagnose conditions such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), and is also used to monitor ongoing thyroid treatment.
