About the Thyroid Tests
Thyroid testing evaluates how well the thyroid gland is working. The thyroid sits in the neck and produces hormones that regulate metabolism, energy, body temperature, weight, heart rate, and mood. A thyroid panel typically combines several blood markers to detect an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), or autoimmune thyroid conditions. Testing is often ordered for fatigue, unexplained weight change, hair thinning, palpitations, or a thyroid nodule, and it is used to monitor patients already taking thyroid medication.
What this test measures
- Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) A pituitary hormone that rises when the thyroid is underactive and falls when it is overactive.
- Free T4 (Thyroxine) Measures the unbound, active form of the main thyroid hormone.
- Free T3 (Triiodothyronine) Measures the unbound form of the more biologically active thyroid hormone.
- Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO) Detects antibodies that can indicate autoimmune thyroid disease.
Who this test may be right for
- People with fatigue, weight changes, or temperature sensitivity
- Individuals with palpitations, tremor, or anxiety
- People with a family history of thyroid disease
- Patients being monitored on thyroid hormone therapy
- People with an enlarged thyroid or a thyroid nodule
Before your visit
- Tell the phlebotomist if you take thyroid medication and whether to take it before collection
- Some providers recommend drawing blood before the daily thyroid dose
- Biotin and some other supplements can interfere with thyroid assays; report all supplements
- Follow any fasting instructions supplied with your order
Understanding your results
Results are interpreted together. A high TSH with low free T4 often suggests hypothyroidism, while a low TSH with high free T3 or T4 may suggest hyperthyroidism. Positive antibodies can point to an autoimmune cause such as Hashimoto's or Graves' disease. Reference ranges vary, and results can be affected by medication, illness, and supplements. Discuss your thyroid results and what they mean for you with a healthcare provider.
