Thyroid profile

A thyroid profile is a set of blood tests that evaluate how well your thyroid gland is functioning. The thyroid produces hormones that regulate your metabolism, energy levels, and overall body functions. The main tests include TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), which controls hormone production; Free T4, the main thyroid hormone; and sometimes Free T3, another important hormone. These results help identify conditions like hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). A thyroid profile provides essential information to guide diagnosis and treatment, ensuring your thyroid health is properly managed.
