⭐ What This Test Detects
This test measures key thyroid hormones to provide a clear picture of your thyroid function.
Here is what each marker assesses:
 Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): This is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland that
signals the thyroid to produce other hormones. It helps assess overall thyroid activity – high
levels may indicate an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), while low levels could suggest an
overactive one (hyperthyroidism). Monitoring TSH is crucial for detecting imbalances that could
affect metabolism, energy, and heart health.
 Triiodothyronine (Free T3): This is an active thyroid hormone that regulates metabolism, body
temperature, and heart rate. It helps evaluate how well your thyroid is functioning – elevated
levels might point to overactivity, and low levels to underactivity, aiding in understanding issues
like weight fluctuations or fatigue.
 Thyroxine (Free T4): This is the main hormone produced by the thyroid gland, which gets
converted to T3 in the body. It assists in assessing thyroid health – higher levels could indicate
overproduction, and lower levels underproduction, helping identify potential causes of
symptoms like mood changes or irregular bowels.

Related symptoms of thyroid imbalances include: Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid):
Weight gain despite diet and exercise, feeling cold often, low energy, fuzzy thinking, dry skin,
brittle hair/nails, hair loss, irregular bowels, or menstrual changes. Hyperthyroidism
(Overactive Thyroid): Sudden weight loss, rapid heartbeat, sweating, nervousness, or
irritability.
Note: This test provides screening information only – consult a healthcare professional for
interpretation.
⭐ How to Prepare for the Test
No special preparation is typically needed for this thyroid screening, but for best results:
 Avoid fasting unless advised by your doctor.
 Collect the sample any time of day, but morning is preferred for consistency.
 No specific menstrual cycle timing is required.
 If you’re on medications (like thyroid drugs or supplements), continue as usual – DO NOT stop or

your health or results.
