This thyroid blood test package can help give you insights into your overall health.

The thyroid gland is located at the base of your neck and produces a hormone that influences every cell, tissue, and organ in the body. It may be small, but it can have a big impact on your health and wellbeing, influencing how fast your heart beats, how quickly your body burns calories and even your mood and fertility.

The Standard Thyroid Test measures both thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and Free T4 (thyroxine) in your blood to assess thyroid function. It screens for specific thyroid health conditions such as underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) and overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).

What's Tested

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

Measures the levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in the blood to evaluate thyroid function. TSH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland and stimulates the thyroid gland to produce T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine), two hormones that play critical roles in controlling the body’s metabolism.
Free T4 (Thyroxine)

A hormone produced by the thyroid gland that is responsible for regulating body temperature, heart rate, and metabolism.

FAQ

Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), produced by the pituitary gland in the brain, signals the thyroid gland in your neck to start producing thyroid (T3 and T4) hormones. These hormones control how your body converts food into energy (i.e., your metabolism). When these thyroid hormones get out of balance, they may cause a variety of health problems ranging from irregular heartbeat to anxiety or depression.⁶
If you have concerns about your thyroid health, it’s important to know the early warning signs of thyroid problems.
