PharmEasy Labs offer a comprehensive TFT blood test package comprising of three tests:

• 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: This test measures the levels of thyroxine in the blood.

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

The main component of the thyroid profile test is the TSH. If the TSH value is higher than the normal range, it means the thyroid gland is not functioning optimally. A higher TSH reading would point to the functioning of the pituitary gland that stimulates the thyroid gland to perform better. This interpretation of the thyroid profile test means the thyroid gland is working at a lower level than it should be.
