The thyroid gland, situated in the neck, produces the hormones Thyroxine (T4) and Tri-iodothyronine (T3). Thyroid function tests (TFTs) include measuring the amount of T4 or T3 and the pituitary hormone, Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) in your blood. These hormones are chemical substances that travel through the bloodstream and control or regulate how fast your body uses energy.

Thyroid profile 1 blood test helps to screen for and diagnose thyroid disorders; to monitor treatment of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. The test measures the amount of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) in your blood, which is an indicator of thyroid disease. TSH is made by the pituitary gland, a tiny organ located below the brain and behind the sinus cavities. It is part of the body’s feedback system to maintain stable amounts of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) [and triiodothyronine (T3)] in the blood. Together these tests are referred to as thyroid function tests.
