Thyroid Function Panel is designed to assess the health of your thyroid gland by measuring three crucial hormones: Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Free Triiodothyronine (FT3), and Free Thyroxine (FT4). This panel is essential for diagnosing and monitoring thyroid disorders, including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): This test measures the level of TSH in the blood, a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that regulates thyroid hormone production. Abnormal TSH levels may indicate an underactive or overactive thyroid.

FT3 (Free Triiodothyronine): FT3 testing is crucial for evaluating thyroid function and metabolism. It helps to diagnose the type of thyroid disorder and assesses the severity of hyperthyroidism.

FT4 (Free Thyroxine): This test measures the free, or unbound, thyroxine levels in the blood, providing information about the body’s metabolic rate and revealing how well the thyroid is functioning. This panel is recommended if you are experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, temperature sensitivity, or mood disturbances, or if you need monitoring of existing thyroid conditions. Accurate and timely testing can help in tailoring the appropriate treatment plan to manage and optimize thyroid health.
