This profile checks the function of your thyroid gland. Thyroid disorders are common but often remain undiagnosed. It will give you a good indication as to whether your thyroid is functioning normally or not by checking your levels of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and Free T4 (FT4).
These tests are mainly used to see whether or not you have an underactive thyroid gland (Hypothyroidism) or an overactive one (Hyperthyroidism) which can lead to tiredness, mood problems and weight issues.
Thyroid disorders are common but often remain undiagnosed. If your thyroid isn’t functioning properly it can cause tiredness, mood problems and weight issues.
The thyroid gland produces essential hormones that are carried to all parts of the body via the blood stream. This is especially important in regulating your metabolism which can directly affect the function of your brain, heart rate and body temperature.
Other symptoms may also include trouble concentrating, hair loss, dry skin and puffiness of the face, hands or feet.
Our normal measurement range is between 0.3 – 3.05 for TSH and between 9 – 23 for thyroxine. If our medical consultants observe any abnormal results then they will notify you within result certificate, and recommend how you may want to raise this with your doctor.
You do not need to fast before the test itself. Inform your doctor if you are on any medications as some may impact your thyroid function. If you have had recent imaging with contrast dye that may contain iodine this can also affect your results. If you are pregnant let the doctor know as this can also impact results
