Thyroid Profile (T3, T4, TSH Ultra-sensitive)
The Thyroid Profile test evaluates your thyroid gland function by measuring three key hormones:
-
T3 (Triiodothyronine)
-
T4 (Thyroxine)
-
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone – Ultra-sensitive)
It helps detect thyroid disorders like hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and other related conditions.
