What Is a Thyroid Function Test?
A Thyroid Function Test (TFT) is a blood test that helps check how well your thyroid gland is working. It commonly measures TSH and may include T3 and T4 tests.
Why Is This Test Important?
Thyroid tests help doctors evaluate thyroid conditions such as an underactive or overactive thyroid.
When Is a Thyroid Test Recommended?
A doctor may recommend this test if you experience tiredness, unexplained weight changes, hair loss, or changes in heart rate. These symptoms can have many causes, so medical evaluation is important.
How Is the Test Done?
A small blood sample is collected from your arm and tested in a laboratory. Fasting is usually not required for a thyroid test alone, but follow your doctor’s instructions.
Thyroid testing can help assess thyroid health when recommended by a healthcare professional.
