Description
A thyroid profile test is a blood test that checks how well your thyroid gland is working. The thyroid gland is located at the front of your neck and makes important hormones that control your body’s energy, metabolism, heart rate, and more.
This test helps detect if your thyroid is:
Underactive (hypothyroidism)
Overactive (hyperthyroidism)
Or if there are other thyroid-related issues
Why the Test is Important
The thyroid profile test checks the levels of key hormones:
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
T3 (Triiodothyronine)
T4 (Thyroxine)
Sometimes, Ultrasensitive TSH
These hormone levels show if your thyroid is making too much or too little of what your body needs.
Why It’s Important
Thyroid hormones affect:
Body weight
Energy levels
Mood
Heart rate
Body temperature
An imbalance can lead to tiredness, weight gain/loss, mood changes, and more. Early testing helps with proper diagnosis and treatment.
