Free Thyroid Panel Il (ft3,ft4,tsh)

Sample required : Blood

Pre requisite : No preparations needed

A Free Thyroid Profile Test measures the levels of three key thyroid hormones in your blood:

1. Free Triiodothyronine (FT3) – Measures the active form of T3 hormone, which regulates metabolism.

2. Free Thyroxine (FT4) – Measures the active form of T4 hormone, which is crucial for energy production and metabolism.

3. 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.
