Free And Total Thyroid Profile (T3,T4, FT3, FT4,TSH) in Noida

The Free and Total Thyroid Profile (T3, T4, FT3, FT4, TSH) Panel is a comprehensive test that measures the levels of thyroid hormones in the body. The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the front of the neck. This gland produces the hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4), which significantly impact our health. TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) triggers the thyroid gland to release thyroid hormones. When the gland releases an excess of hormones, individuals experience hyperthyroidism, whereas if the gland releases fewer hormones, individuals suffer from hypothyroidism. Both conditions can impact the entire body.

The thyroid hormone is responsible for the normal functioning of different organs and body parts. Some of the primary functions of the thyroid gland include:

• Regulation of body weight
