Thyroid Profile Test

About Thyroid Profile Test

A thyroid panel is used to check the function of the thyroid gland. This gland is a butterfly-shaped organ at the front of the neck and is responsible for the production of hormones that are important for regulating the body's metabolism. Abnormal thyroid function, like underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) or overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) can cause many symptoms. By measuring thyroid hormone levels in the blood, the panel helps diagnose thyroid disease and thyroid dysfunction.

Functions of thyroid gland

·       Regulates the rate at which the body uses calories

·       Regulates body temperature

·       Maintains pulse and heartbeat

·       Promotes brain development

The thyroid panel uses a blood sample to assess thyroid function. It is also used to monitor treatment for hyperthyroidism and to evaluate patients receiving hormone therapy which replaces thyroid hormones that are depleted or lacking due to conditions like hypothyroidism, thyroid cancer, thyroid nodules, and goitres. Thus, getting your thyroid profile done is recommended to detect or diagnose thyroid diseases.

Who should get tested?

A thyroid profile test is recommended for:

Women of all ages. Women are more likely than men to have low thyroid hormone levels

Preparation for test

Certain medicines may affect the results of thyroid profile test, therefore ask your doctor whether to continue medications or not before the test, and make sure to follow instructions closely.

Interpretation of results

Parameters

Normal thyroid profile levels

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

0.40 - 4.50 mIU/mL

Thyroxine (T4)

5.0 – 11.0 ug/dL

Free Thyroxine (Free T4)

0.9 - 1.7 ng/dL

Triiodothyronine (T3)

100 - 200 ng/dL

Free Triiodothyronine (Free T3)

2.3 - 4.1 pg/mL

 

Deviation from normal levels indicates the following:

  • A higher than normal TSH level or lower T3 and T4 levels may be due to conditions like an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism), malnutrition and severe acute illness.
  • A lower than normal TSH level or higher T3 and T4 levels may be due to overactive thyroid gland, which can be caused by conditions like Grave’s disease, toxic nodular goitre or multinodular goitre, too much iodine in the body and taking too much thyroid hormone medicine.

FAQs

Are there medications that interfere with thyroid profile testing?

Yes! Many medications can affect the thyroid status. For example, Biotin, which is a commonly taken over-the-counter supplement and some birth control pills can cause thyroid function tests to appear to look abnormal when they are actually normal in the blood.

When do I need a thyroid profile test?

It is recommended to take a thyroid profile test if you have symptoms of underactive or overactive thyroid gland like weight gain/loss, tiredness, anxiety, bowel problems, sensitivity to heat/cold etc. Increased thyroid hormones in your blood is called hyperthyroidism and decreased thyroid hormones is known as hypothyroidism

Can I take thyroid tests during pregnancy?

Yes, if required. It is not uncommon for thyroid hormone levels to change during pregnancy. If you already have a thyroid condition or developed a thyroid condition during pregnancy, your doctor will monitor your condition and ask for a thyroid test and additional blood tests. During the first half of your pregnancy your thyroid levels will be checked every 4 to 6 weeks, and at least once after 30 weeks.

What are the risks associated with a thyroid profile test?

This test involves negligible risk. There might be slight pain or tenderness around the site where the needle is inserted. Rarely, the site can become infected.

What are the limitations of a thyroid profile test?

Thyroid test results are not always accurate as outside factors may affect the results of your thyroid blood test. These factors include diet, what time of day you take the test, certain illness, stress, and sleep. Some medications and supplements may also affect your results.

Thyroid Antibodies Profile

₹ 2,300
  • Includes

    2 Test Parameter(s)

  • Anti-thyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO) and anti-thyroglobulin (anti-TG) antibodies are the diagnostic markers of autoimmune thyroid disorders. Anti-TPO and anti-TG antibodies are related to levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and both alone or in combination can aid in the prediction of development of hypo-/hyperthyroidism.and The thyroid antibodies profile includes the Antithyroglobulin antibody and the anti-TPO (Thyroid Peroxidase); the Antithyroglobulin antibody test detects the levels of antibodies produced against thyroglobulin . In an autoimmune condition, the immune system attacks the thyroid; it often targets thyroglobulin, which causes the production of antithyroglobulin antibodies. An anti-TPO (Thyroid Peroxidase) test detects the presence of antibodies against TPO in the blood. Thyroid Peroxidase is an enzyme normally found in the thyroid gland and plays an important role in producing thyroid hormones, it helps predict the thyroid gland's functioning (producing high/low thyroid hormone). The thyroid antibodies profile test is used to diagnose autoimmune conditions of the thyroid gland, such as Hashimoto's disease (thyroid glands don't produce enough thyroid hormones) or Graves' disease (thyroid glands produce an excess thyroid hormone).

Calcitonin

₹ 1,200
  • Includes

    1 Test Parameter(s)

  • The Calcitonin test helps measure levels of the hormone calcitonin in the blood. The calcitoninhormone is released by the thyroid gland and helps control the body's use of calcium. Calcitonin helps prevent the breakdown and rebuilding of bone. It is also a tumor marker (a substance produced by cancer cells or by normal cells in response to cancer, that provides information about the type of cancer), and doctors generally advise getting calcitonin levels checked when there are symptoms of or a family history of medullary cancer of the thyroid, multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndrome (a rare condition causing tumors in the endocrine gland, and parts of the small intestine and stomach). This test also helps to diagnose osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a disease condition in which bones become weak and brittle.

    1 Test Parameter(s)

  • An anti-TPO (Thyroid Peroxidase) test detects the presence of antibodies against Thyroid Peroxidase(TPO) enzyme in the blood. TPO plays an important role in the production of thyroid hormones. An anti-TPO is linked to the levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH) . Hence it helps predict the thyroid gland's functioning (producing high(hyperthyroidism)/low thyroid(hypothyroidism) hormone). This test is prescribed to diagnose autoimmune conditions of the thyroid gland, such as Hashimoto's disease (thyroid glands don't produce enough thyroid hormones) or Graves' disease (thyroid glands produce an excess thyroid hormone).

  • Free T4 and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) test measures the level of thyroxine and thyroid-stimulating hormone. Free T4 is the active form of thyroid hormones that are not bound to protein and can enter tissues when required. T3 and T4 are the two main hormones produced by your thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is a tiny, butterfly-shaped gland located at the neck. T4 contributes in the metabolism, mood, and body temperature. If TSH is high and the T4 is normal, the diagnosis is subclinical hypothyroidism. If TSH is normal and the FT4 is low, the diagnosis may be central hypothyroidism
