The thyroid is a part of the endocrine system. The main job of the thyroid is to control the metabolic rate, the process by which the body transforms the food into energy. All the organs and systems of our body need energy to function. Thyroxine (T 4) and triiodothyronine (T 3) are the two hormones produced by the thyroid, and released into the blood. These hormones play an important role in heart and muscle function, brain development, maintenance of bones, regulation of body weight, energy levels, internal temperature, skin, hair and nail growth. That is why a problem with the thyroid affects the entire body.
PharmEasy Labs provides you with a thyroid panel test including TSH, T3, and T4. TSH or thyroid stimulating hormone is produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. TSH regulates the thyroid by instructing it how much hormones it should have to produce and release.
Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is a condition in which the thyroid does not produce enough hormones. If the thyroid hormone levels are low in the blood the pituitary increases the TSH level to stimulate the thyroid.
Whereas if the thyroid generates too much hormone (hyperthyroidism) the pituitary gland lowers the level of TSH. Hyperthyroidism can speed up the body's function.
Test Necessity
The thyroid profile test is needed if someone is experiencing the symptoms like:
- Fatigue
- Sluggishness
- Restlessness
- Irritability
- Unexpected weight changes
- Sensitivity to cold or heat
This test helps diagnose hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Graves’ disease, Hashimoto's disease, and thyroiditis.
A thyroid profile test can help to detect and treat serious conditions in early stages, such as thyroid cancer.
Test Preparation
Fasting or any other preparation is not required before the thyroid profile test. However, your doctor may guide you better.
During the Thyroid Profile Test
Be ready for the phlebotomist to arrive at your house at the stipulated time. The right vein in your arm will be picked with the vein finder and the phlebotomist will insert a new needle into it to draw some blood. Once that's done, the sample will be sealed and taken to the lab.
