Doctors may recommend a thyroid profile test for finding out hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and the diseases that occur due to thyroid imbalance like Graves' disease, Hashimoto's disease etc.

Hypothyroidism can damage the peripheral nerves if left untreated for too long. These nerves transmit information from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body.

Some of the most serious complications of hyperthyroidism concern the heart, bones, muscles, menstrual cycle, and fertility. It can cause the heart to beat faster, which may lead to stroke.

In severe cases, both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are potentially life-threatening. Let your doctor know if you notice any symptoms or thyroid problems so that he/she can get you under medical treatment immediately if necessary.

Usually fasting or any other preparation is not required for a thyroid profile test. If you have to undergo some other tests along with it you may be asked to fast for several hours before the test. However your doctor can guide you better.

During the Thyroid Profile Test (TFT)

For the TFT blood test, a phlebotomist will be sent to your house from PharmEasy Labs as per the date and time you chose while booking the test. To locate the vein in your arm from which blood will be drawn, a vein finder will be used. This ensures that no discomfort is felt. Only fresh new needles and syringes are used to prevent health hazards. The properly sealed sample is taken to the lab after the collection to be analyzed.

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.
