The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of your neck under the skin. T4 and T3 are two hormones produced by it and released in the bloodstream. Thyroid hormones control how the body uses energy. They affect almost every organ in the body, even the heart. Thyroid hormones play a crucial role in the functioning of the following:
- Development of the brain
- Functioning of the heart and muscles
- Regulation of energy levels, body weight, and internal temperature
- Growth of nail, hair, and skin
Thyroid-stimulating hormone is produced by the pituitary gland situated at the base of the brain. TSH controls the thyroid gland by regulating the secretion of thyroid hormones. It tells the thyroid gland how much hormone it needs to produce and release into the blood.
Hyperthyroidism is a condition when the thyroid hormone levels are too high. The pituitary gland reduces the release of TSH to control the thyroid. Hyperthyroidism can spread up the body's function. Graves’ disease, an immune system disorder is a common cause of hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism can also cause serious complications of the heart, which include arterial fibrillation that increases the risk of stroke and congestive heart failure when the heart cannot circulate enough blood to meet the body's needs.
In hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland does not secrete enough hormones, so the pituitary gland increases the secretion of TSH to stimulate the thyroid. Hashimoto's disease is caused by hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is most common in women and people over 60. People with autoimmune diseases like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Sjogren's syndrome are more likely to have hypothyroidism.
The thyroid hormone levels are compared to what is normal for a healthy person of your age. A low level of TSH and high levels of T3 and/or T4 usually indicate you have an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).
A thyroid profile test is a useful tool for diagnosing thyroid dysfunction and the health conditions associated with thyroid problems.
Test Necessity
A thyroid profile test is used to diagnose hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. Your doctor may recommend this test if you are showing the symptoms of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
Symptoms of hyperthyroidism are:
- Persistent tiredness
- Weight loss despite increased hunger
- An irregular and/or rapid heart rate
- Swelling in the neck from an enlarged thyroid gland

Test Preparation
You do not need to take any special preparation before the thyroid profile test. If the doctor has given you other blood tests at the same time, you may need to fast for a few hours before the test. However, your doctor may guide you better.
During the Thyroid Function Test
- The phlebotomist will arrive at your place at the predetermined time.
