The Thyroid Profile Free, Serum test is a comprehensive thyroid panel that assesses the functioning of the thyroid gland by measuring Free Triiodothyronine (FT3), Free Thyroxine (FT4), and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). These hormones regulate metabolism, energy production, body temperature, heart rate, growth, and overall hormonal balance. This test is commonly recommended to diagnose thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), monitor thyroid treatment, and investigate symptoms including fatigue, unexplained weight changes, hair loss, mood changes, irregular menstrual cycles, and palpitations.
