A Free Thyroid Profile Test measures the levels of three key thyroid hormones in your blood:
-
Free Triiodothyronine (FT3) – Measures the active form of T3 hormone, which regulates metabolism.
-
Free Thyroxine (FT4) – Measures the active form of T4 hormone, which is crucial for energy production and metabolism.
-
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) – Produced by the pituitary gland, TSH controls how much T3 and T4 the thyroid gland releases.
Why is this test important?
-
Diagnoses thyroid disorders like hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).
-
Helps monitor thyroid treatment.
-
Evaluates metabolism and hormonal balance.
What to Do Next?
-
If your levels are abnormal, consult a doctor for further evaluation, including antibody tests or a thyroid ultrasound.
-
If you have symptoms (fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, anxiety, etc.), these results can help pinpoint whether the thyroid is causing them.
-
Medication or lifestyle changes may be recommended based on the findings.
