The Free Thyroid package is a group of blood tests designed to check the health of your thyroid gland. Your thyroid is a small gland in the neck that makes hormones important for controlling your body’s energy, growth, and metabolism.

This package measures three key thyroid hormones: Free T3 (triiodothyronine), Free T4 (thyroxine), and TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone). By checking these hormones, the test can help find out if your thyroid is working too fast (hyperthyroidism), too slow (hypothyroidism), or just right. It is often recommended if you feel tired, have sudden weight changes, mood swings, or changes in your hair or skin. The results help your doctor understand your thyroid health and decide if you need any further care or treatment. No fasting is needed for this test, making it easy to fit into your daily routine.

What’s Included in my Package?

This package gives a complete thyroid health check by measuring three important hormones in your blood. Together, these tests show how well your thyroid is working and help your doctor get a full picture of your thyroid health.

Test Name	What It Checks
Free T3 (Triiodothyronine) (1)	Measures the active T3 hormone that controls your body’s metabolism and energy.
Free T4 (Thyroxine) (1)	Checks the free form of T4 hormone, which helps manage growth and body functions.
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) (1)	Evaluates the signal from your brain that tells your thyroid gland how much hormone to make.

These three tests work together to help spot thyroid problems early, so you and your doctor can take the right steps for your health.

FAQs:

What is the purpose of the Free Thyroid package?
The Free Thyroid package checks the main hormones made by your thyroid gland (Free T3, Free T4, and TSH) to see if your thyroid is working properly. It helps find thyroid problems early, even before symptoms appear, and is useful for both first-time checks and ongoing monitoring.
How do these tests give a complete picture of thyroid health?
By measuring Free T3, Free T4, and TSH together, the package shows how much hormone your thyroid makes and how your brain controls the gland. This helps your doctor spot both overactive and underactive thyroid conditions and decide on the best next steps.
What tests are included, and what type of sample is needed?
The package includes three blood tests: Free T3, Free T4, and TSH. All are checked from a single blood sample. No urine sample is required for this package.
Are there special considerations for pregnancy or women’s health?
Yes, thyroid hormones are very important during pregnancy and for women’s health. This package helps check for thyroid problems that can affect periods, fertility, and the health of both mother and baby during pregnancy. Always tell your doctor if you are pregnant when you take this test.
How should I prepare, and what should I do after getting my results?
No fasting is needed; you can eat and drink as usual. Continue your thyroid medicines unless your doctor says otherwise. After you get your results, consult your doctor to understand what they mean and if you need more tests or changes in treatment. If your symptoms continue or change, your doctor may suggest retesting after a few weeks or months.
