The thyroid gland generates two hormones, T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine). These hormones enter the bloodstream and then are transported to every part of the body. Thyroid hormones help the body use energy, stay warm, and keep the heart, brain, muscles and other organs working normally. The thyroid profile test is a panel of tests which includes TSH, T3, and T4 tests.

Thyroid hormones are controlled by TSH and secreted by the pituitary gland. The TSH or thyroid stimulating hormone plays an important role by regulating the secretion of thyroid hormones. The functions of T3, T4 hormones and TSH are interrelated.

The TSH levels indicate the rate at which the thyroid is secreting its hormones. A high TSH level implies the thyroid gland is not generating enough hormones, the condition is called hypothyroidism (primary). Alternatively, if the TSH level is low it denotes the thyroid is producing too much hormones, the condition is hyperthyroidism.

Sometimes an abnormality in the pituitary gland causes the pituitary to secrete too little TSH and cannot stimulate the thyroid enough (secondary hypothyroidism). A normal TSH level means the thyroid is functioning properly.

Your doctor may suggest a thyroid profile test if you are showing these symptoms of hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, such as:

• Fatigue
• Weight gain/loss
• Increased or slowed heart rate
• Heat or cold sensitivity

A thyroid profile test is used to monitor overactive or underactive thyroid treatment and thyroid cancer treatment. Your doctor may also recommend this test if you are planning to get pregnant.

You may not need to fast before the thyroid profile test. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you are taking, he/she will give instructions on what to do.
