Thyroid testing is a blood test used to check hormone balance in the body. The thyroid gland controls metabolism, energy levels, weight, and body temperature, and any imbalance can affect daily health.
Primary symptom: Persistent fatigue, unexplained weight change, or hair fall are common symptoms of thyroid imbalance.
Condition: Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are conditions caused by low or high thyroid hormone levels.
How is thyroid testing done in Pune?
Direct answer: Thyroid testing is done through a blood sample to measure TSH, T3, and T4 hormone levels.
A small blood sample is collected and analysed to understand how well the thyroid gland is functioning. These tests help doctors identify hormone imbalance early.
Which blood tests are required for thyroid?
Direct answer: TSH is the primary screening test, followed by T3, T4, or a thyroid profile if required.
- TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) – first-line test to assess thyroid function
- FT3 (Free T3) – measures active thyroid hormone
- FT4 (Free T4) – evaluates hormone production by the thyroid gland
- Thyroid Profile (TSH, T3, T4) – complete thyroid evaluation in one test
