The Thyroid Profile Total (T3, T4 & TSH) is a standard blood test that assesses the health of your thyroid gland and aids in diagnosing and managing thyroid disorders. It is available at an affordable price in Guwahati with Tata 1mg labs. This test measures the levels of 3 hormones, namely thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroxine hormone (T4)- total, and triiodothyronine hormone (T3)- total that are responsible for regulating metabolism and other bodily functions.

Your doctor may suggest the Thyroid Profile Total (T3, T4 & TSH) when you have symptoms suggestive of a thyroid disorder, such as tiredness, mood swings, depression, muscle pain, nervousness, or anxiety. The test results and your symptoms will allow the doctor to identify and diagnose certain diseases, such as hyper or hypothyroidism, and manage the treatment for these diseases.

No special preparations are needed for the Thyroid Profile Total (T3, T4 & TSH). You may eat and drink as per your daily routine. On the day of the test, individuals on thyroid medications should take them at the time and dosage prescribed by their doctors.

Understanding Thyroid Profile Total (T3, T4 & TSH)

The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped organ located in the neck. It produces hormones like T3 and T4. These hormones are responsible for regulating metabolism and other bodily functions. The production and release of T3 and T4 hormones are controlled by the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which is produced by the pituitary gland.

The doctor may advise this test if there are symptoms suggestive of thyroid disorders, such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).

Some common symptoms of hypothyroidism include:

  • Weight gain
  • Anxiety
  • Fatigue
  • Sensitivity to cold
  • Constipation
  • Dry skin
  • Frequent or heavy menstrual periods

Some common symptoms of hyperthyroidism include:

  • Weight loss
  • Sensitivity to warm temperature
  • Irritability
  • Hand tremors
  • Increased sweating
  • Rapid heartbeat
  • Hair loss
  • Changes in menstrual periods, often lighter and/or less frequent

Doctors also recommend Thyroid Profile Total (T3, T4 & TSH) for women during pregnancy to check if they have adequate amounts of thyroid hormones. These hormones are important for fetal brain development and pregnancy health.

The levels of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) hormones fluctuate due to changes in a protein called thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG). TBG helps carry thyroid hormones to the right parts of the body. The level of TSH can vary, depending on factors like the time of day it is tested. That is why it's better to test TSH in the daytime for more accurate results.

No special preparations are needed for this profile. Usually, you do not need to discontinue taking thyroid medication before getting tested. However, inform your doctor about all the medications being taken, as some of them might affect the test results.

Lab test results may vary across laboratories. Interpretation of the test results requires expert guidance. Therefore, do not self-medicate and talk to the doctor to understand the test results correctly.

Lifestyle Tips for Optimal Thyroid Hormone Levels:

🥤Hydration: Stay hydrated. Dehydration can temporarily alter thyroid hormone levels. 

🥗Eat (Diet): Eat at least five portions of a variety of fruits and vegetables every day. Eat iodine-rich foods and avoid long-term consumption of soy.

🚴‍♀️Activity (Exercise): Exercise helps manage symptoms like weight changes, mood changes, and improves overall thyroid health.

😴Lifestyle (Stress and Sleep): Practice yoga, meditation, or deep breathing, and prioritize quality sleep—both stress and sleep are vital for thyroid hormone balance.

👨‍⚕️Talk to Your Doctor (Consult): Do not self-medicate. Always consult your doctor before starting, stopping, or changing doses of thyroid medication.

🚭Habits (Alcohol and Smoking): Avoid smoking and limit excessive alcohol consumption as these habits can impair thyroid function.

What does Thyroid Profile Total (T3, T4 & TSH) measure?

Contains 3 tests

The Thyroid Profile Total (T3, T4 & TSH) measures the levels of triiodothyronine hormone (T3) total, thyroxine hormone (T4) total, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in the blood. Thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and TSH work in opposite ways. When T3 and T4 levels go up, TSH levels usually go down, and when T3 and T4 go down, TSH goes up. This happens due to the pituitary-thyroid feedback mechanism:

In hypothyroidism (low levels of T3 and T4), the pituitary gland responds by increasing TSH secretion to stimulate the thyroid gland.

In hyperthyroidism (elevated T3 and T4 levels), TSH secretion is suppressed to decrease thyroid activity.

The Triiodothyronine - Total (T3) test measures triiodothyronine, also known as T3, hormone that is produced by the thyroid gland. T3 hormone plays an important role in regulating the body's metabolism, energy levels, and growth & development. It exists in the blood in two forms: free T3 and bound T3. Free T3 is not bound to proteins in the blood and is the active form of T3. Whereas, bound T3 is bound to proteins, such as albumin and thyroid hormone binding globulin (THBG), which prevent it from entering the body tissues.

The TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Ultrasensitive test measures the levels of TSH hormone in the blood. TSH is produced by the pituitary gland located in the brain. Its function is to stimulate and regulate the functioning of the thyroid gland. It signals the thyroid gland to increase or decrease the production of thyroid hormones T3 and T4 when their levels are low or high, respectively. Therefore, when the levels of T3 & T4 decrease, the pituitary gland is stimulated to release TSH. This high TSH level, in turn, stimulates the thyroid gland to release more thyroid hormones (T3 & T4); vice versa happens when the levels of thyroid hormones increase.

The Thyroxine - Total (T4) test measures both the bound and unbound/free form of thyroxine (T4) hormone in the blood. T4 exists in the blood in two forms: bound (attached to proteins) and free (not attached to proteins). Most of the T4 circulating in the blood is bound to proteins and only a small part is free. It is necessary to maintain a fine balance of these forms to ensure the proper functioning of the body.
