The Thyroid Hormone Profile (All) Blood Test provides a comprehensive assessment of your thyroid health by measuring critical hormones and antibodies involved in thyroid function. This profile is essential for diagnosing various thyroid disorders and understanding your overall endocrine health.

What the Thyroid Hormone Profile Tests:

• Anti-TPO (Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody): This test detects antibodies that may indicate autoimmune thyroid disease, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

• FT3 (Free Triiodothyronine): Measures the active form of triiodothyronine, which regulates metabolism and energy levels.

• FT4 (Free Thyroxine): Assesses the level of thyroxine in the blood, essential for metabolic processes.

• TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone): Evaluates the pituitary gland's stimulation of the thyroid, providing insight into thyroid function.

• Thyroid T3 and T4: Measures the total levels of thyroid hormones in the blood, important for diagnosing thyroid dysfunction.

Why is the Thyroid Hormone Profile Important?:

• Diagnosis of Disorders: This profile helps diagnose conditions such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and autoimmune thyroid diseases.

• Monitoring Treatment: If you're undergoing treatment for thyroid conditions, regular monitoring of these hormones can help ensure that your therapy is effective and your thyroid levels are balanced.

Testing Procedure: The Thyroid Hormone Profile is performed through a blood draw at our clinic. It is often recommended alongside a physical examination and evaluation of symptoms to provide a complete picture of thyroid health.

Regular thyroid function testing is essential for anyone experiencing symptoms related to thyroid imbalances, such as fatigue, weight changes, or mood swings.
