Free T4Thyroxine or T4 is a thyroid hormone that regulates your body’s metabolism, temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, etc. It is produced along with the T3 hormone and plays an important role in the growth and development of the nervous system and the brain. T4 hormone exists in the blood in two forms: bound (attached to proteins) and free (not attached to proteins). Deranged levels of this hormone can result in either hyperthyroidism (the thyroid gland produces too much T4) or hypothyroidism (the thyroid gland produces less T4).The Thyroxine - Free (FT4) test measures the amount of free thyroxine hormone (T4), which is not attached to any protein. Your doctor may suggest this test if you show symptoms suggestive of hyperthyroidism, like increased appetite, weight loss, sweating, anxiety, tremors, etc., or hypothyroidism, like fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, constipation, etc.No special preparations are needed for this test. Usually, you do not need to stop taking your thyroid medication before taking this test. However, do let your doctor know about all the medications you take as some of them can affect your thyroid test results. Biotin (Vitamin B7) is a commonly taken over-the-counter supplement that can lead to some aberrancy in your thyroid function tests even when the values are actually normal. Hence, avoid taking biotin 2 days before this test.Test result ranges are approximate and may differ slightly between different labs depending on the methodology and laboratory guidelines. Talk to your doctor about your specific results. The test results will help them determine your medical condition, make recommendations for lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise, evaluate whether or not medication will be required to manage your condition, and formulate an overall treatment plan.

Total T4 -(Total Thyroxine)Thyroxine, also known as T4, is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the front of your neck. It helps regulate the body’s metabolism, normal temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate. T4 along with triiodothyronine (T3), another hormone produced by the thyroid gland, plays an important role in the growth and development of the nervous system and the brain. T4 exists in the blood in two forms: bound (attached to proteins) and free (not attached to proteins).The Thyroxine - Total (T4) measures the total level (both free and bound forms) of the T4 hormone. Deranged levels of T4 can result in either hyperthyroidism (the thyroid gland produces too much T4) or hypothyroidism (the thyroid gland produces less T4). Your doctor may suggest this test if you show symptoms of hyperthyroidism, like increased appetite, weight loss, sweating, anxiety, tremors, etc., or hypothyroidism, like fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, constipation, etc.No special preparations are needed for the Thyroxine - Total (T4) test. However, do let your doctor know about all the medications you take as some of those can affect thyroid function. Biotin (Vitamin B7) is a commonly taken over-the-counter supplement that can lead to some aberrancy in your thyroid function test values even if they are normal.

TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)The pituitary gland makes thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which tells your thyroid to release hormones called T3 and T4. These hormones work together to control your body’s energy use, weight, and temperature. The TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Ultrasensitive test is very accurate and can detect small changes in TSH levels. It helps diagnose and monitor thyroid problems like goiter, Graves’ disease, and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, which may be caused by an overactive (hyperthyroidism) or underactive (hypothyroidism) thyroid. This test, along with T3 and T4, is also recommended for pregnant women to ensure healthy thyroid levels for the baby and prevent pregnancy related complications. TSH levels may show marked fluctuations in an individual due to factors like aging, cold weather, or the time of day when they are evaluated. So, the daytime testing for TSH measurements is usually preferred. No special preparations are needed for the TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Ultrasensitive test. However, please inform the doctor about all the medications you are taking, as some of these can affect thyroid function. TSH test result ranges may vary across the laboratories depending on the methodology and laboratory guidelines. Do not self-medicate. Always consult your doctor to understand your test results correctly.

Thyroid Function Test - The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck. It produces T3 and T4 hormones that help regulate the body's metabolism, energy, and functioning of the vital organs. On the other hand, the TSH hormone is produced by the pituitary gland. This hormone acts like a messenger and tells the thyroid gland how much thyroid hormones (T3 & T4) it needs to make. An abnormal level of any of these three hormones can signal a thyroid problem, such as an underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism) gland. The doctor may advise the Thyroid Profile Total (T3, T4 & TSH) test if there are symptoms suggestive of thyroid disorders, such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).Common symptoms of hypothyroidism include weight gain, fatigue, sensitivity to cold, constipation, dry skin, thinning hair, and irregular or heavier-than-usual menstrual periods. On the other hand, hyperthyroidism may cause unexplained weight loss, sensitivity to heat, irritability, mood swings, muscle weakness, hyperactivity, and difficulty sleeping. Doctors also recommend the Thyroid Profile Total (T3, T4 & TSH) for women during pregnancy to check if they have adequate amounts of thyroid hormones. These hormones are important for fetal brain development and pregnancy health. The levels of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) fluctuate due to changes in a protein called thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG). TBG helps carry thyroid hormones to the right parts of the body. The level of TSH can vary, depending on factors like the time of day it is tested. That is why it's better to test TSH in the daytime for more accurate results. No special preparations are needed for this profile. Usually, you do not need to discontinue taking thyroid medication before getting tested. However, inform your doctor about all the medications being taken, as some of them might affect the test results. Lab test results may vary across laboratories. Interpretation of the test results requires expert guidance. Therefore, do not self-medicate, and talk to the doctor to understand the test results correctly.
