A Thyroid Profile (Total) Test is a set of blood tests used to evaluate how well your thyroid gland is functioning. This test typically measures three key hormones—T3 (Triiodothyronine), T4 (Thyroxine), and TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone).

Doctors usually recommend a thyroid profile test if you have symptoms such as unexplained weight changes, fatigue, hair fall, mood swings, or irregular periods. It is also used to diagnose thyroid disorders early and to monitor patients who are already undergoing treatment.

At Torrent Diagnostics, the test is performed using reliable and standardized methods ensuring accurate results that you and your doctor can depend on.
