The Thyroid Profile Total, Serum test is a comprehensive thyroid panel that measures Total Triiodothyronine (T3), Total Thyroxine (T4), and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) to assess the functioning of the thyroid gland. These hormones play a vital role in regulating 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 such as fatigue, unexplained weight gain or loss, hair loss, constipation, heat or cold intolerance, anxiety, and irregular menstrual cycles.
