During the Thyroid Profile Test (TFT)

During the thyroid profile test, an experienced phlebotomist will come to your home for sample collection. We use vein finders to comfortably locate the vein. Once done, a sterile syringe is used to draw blood from that vein and it is collected in a collection tube for further testing. Anti-coagulating agents are present in the tune to prevent blood clotting.

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.
