During the Thyroid Profile Test (TFT)

On the day of the test (selected by you as per your convenience), a phlebotomist will come over to your place for collecting the blood sample that will be analyzed for thyroid issues. A small amount of blood will be drawn from the crook of your elbow. A vein finder will be used to pinpoint the vein. You will feel no discomfort and it will be done in a few seconds.

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.
