What is the Thyroid Profile test?

The thyroid gland in your neck controls how fast your body uses energy. TSH is the signal from the brain that tells the thyroid to work, and T3 and T4 are the thyroid hormones themselves. Together they show whether the thyroid is working normally.

Why is it done?

  • Tiredness, weight gain or loss, hair fall, or feeling unusually cold or hot
  • Irregular periods or difficulty conceiving
  • Before and during pregnancy
  • Monitoring thyroid medicine doses
  • A swelling in the neck

How to prepare

  • Fasting is usually not needed
  • If you take thyroid medicine, ask your doctor whether to give the sample before your morning dose
  • Tell us if you take biotin supplements, which can affect some results

When will I get my report?

Understanding your results

A high TSH usually suggests an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism); a low TSH may suggest an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism). T3 and T4 help confirm the pattern. Mild changes are common and are often rechecked before treatment is started.

Frequently asked questions

Is fasting required for a thyroid test?

Usually not. Follow your doctor's advice about thyroid medicine timing.

What is the difference between TSH and a thyroid profile?

TSH alone is a screening test. A thyroid profile adds T3 and T4 to give a fuller picture.
