Overview
If you want to know how well your Thyroid gland is working, a thyroid Profile test is the best way to find things out. You can also expect PharmEasy Labs to bring you the reports that are trusted. Since the gland helps in producing hormones important for many bodily processes, the thyroid must function properly. The conditions like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism may lead to several symptoms. Once the thyroid hormones in your blood are checked through a thyroid Profile test, thyroid disorders and disrupted thyroid disorders can be checked.
This test is also known by some other names, such as:
- T4 is tested independently as a thyroxine test
- Thyroid Function Assessment
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone can be done as a standalone test, also referred to as Serum TSH.
- Thyroid Function Test
- Thyroid panel
If the TSH value is higher or lower, it's a sign that your thyroid is not functioning properly. In case the test results show a high TSH value, it means that:
- You have hypothyroidism.
- There's an issue with your pituitary gland.
- The medications for thyroid hormone that you're receiving are too little
But if your TSH level is low, it is also a problematic sign considering that:
- It means that you have hyperthyroidism.
