PharmEasy Labs offers a comprehensive thyroid profile test or a thyroid function test in Ghaziabad. This test includes the following:

• TSH or Thyroid Stimulating Hormone: The pituitary gland is located at the base of the brain, and it produces TSH. The TSH then triggers the thyroid gland to produce T3 and T4.
• T3: This test measures how much triiodothyronine is present in the bloodstream.
• T4: The T4 test measures the levels of thyroxine in the blood.

If the thyroid gland produces less T3 and T4, it is called hypothyroidism, and if too many hormones are produced, it is called hyperthyroidism.

The doctor might prescribe a thyroid function test if they observe any symptoms of thyroid disorders. There can be two types of thyroid disorders - hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

Symptoms of hypothyroidism or low T3 and T4 levels are:

• Weight gain
• Fatigue
• Depression
• Sensitivity to cold
• Dry skin
• Constipation

Symptoms of hyperthyroidism or high T3 and T4 levels are:

• Anxiety
• Tremors
• Rapid or irregular heartbeat
• Sweating
• Weight loss

The thyroid profile test is also recommended if the doctor wants to monitor the impact of medication on the thyroid.

Generally, no preparation like fasting is required before the thyroid profile test.
