What is Thyroid Profile Test?
The Thyroid Profile Test is a comprehensive blood test that measures the levels of thyroid hormones and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in your blood. It includes three main components:
- TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone): Produced by the pituitary gland to regulate thyroid function
- T3 (Triiodothyronine): Active thyroid hormone that affects metabolism
- T4 (Thyroxine): Main hormone produced by the thyroid gland
Why Thyroid Testing is Important
Thyroid disorders affect millions of people worldwide. Early detection through regular thyroid testing can help prevent complications like heart disease, infertility, and osteoporosis. The thyroid gland regulates metabolism, energy levels, and many bodily functions.
