    Thyroid: Meaning

    The thyroid is a gland which is present in front of the throat over the Adam´s apple. It produces hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). The thyroid gland is stimulated by a hormone called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) produced in the pituitary gland. T3 and T4 together are vital almost all the important functions of the most vital organs. TFT test means thyroid function test that measures the levels of these three hormones in the blood.


    Causes & symptoms of Thyroid

    TFT blood test can help in diagnosis of thyroid dysfunction. Causes of thyroid dysfunction:

    - Infection (thyroiditis)

    - Iodine deficiency or excess iodine

    - Postpartum thyroiditis

    - Auto immune disorders (Hashimoto´s thyroiditis and Grave´s disease)

    - Thyroid cancer

    - Pituitary gland dysfunction

    - Thyroid nodules


    Meaning of Thyroid Function Test

    TFT means thyroid function test. This is a blood test which measures the level of thyroid hormones T3, T4 and the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). TFT lab test tells us how well the thyroid gland is working.


    Reason/when to take the Thyroid Function Test (TFT)

    A thyroid profile test is recommended which is more extensive and thorough to assess the thyroid gland function. TFT profile test may be ordered if:


    - Showing any signs of thyroid gland dysfunction

    - To monitor an already existing thyroid disease

    - To adjust dosage of thyroid medication

    - As a part of health insurance package/ work requirement

    - If you have family history of thyroid gland dysfunction

    - Infertility


    Parameters

    The parameters tested in a TFT are:

    - Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Test

    - Thyroxine (T4) Test

    - Triiodothyronine (T3) Test


    Understanding the Thyroid Function Test Result

    Interpretation of all laboratory results must be done by qualified medical personnel only. However, you can understand your TFT results with some simple guidelines.

    - Lower than normal levels of thyroid hormones suggest the thyroid gland is functioning less than optimum. It means hypothyroidism.

    - Higher than normal levels suggest the thyroid gland is working in overdrive. It means hyperthyroidism.

    - Levels of TSH are usually opposite of the thyroid hormone levels.

    For example, high TSH means hypothyroidism while low TSH means hyperthyroidism. This is because when the thyroid is not functioning at its thyroid function test normal value, the pituitary starts producing more TSH to stimulate the thyroid to function at its full capacity.

    Conditions/disease detected in TFT

    TFT can detect thyroid gland dysfunction by detecting the following:

    - Hyperthyroidism—above normal activity of the thyroid

    - Hypothyroidism—below normal activity of the thyroid gland

    - Thyroiditis—infection and inflammation of the thyroid gland causing altered levels of thyroid hormones

    Additional tests like thyroglobulin test and thyroid peroxidase antibodies test might be ordered by the doctor along with the TFT to detect conditions which might be causing the hypo or hyperthyroidism - Hashimoto`s thyroiditis, Grave´s disease, etc.

    Preparations required for Thyroid Function Test

    No special preparations are required for the TFT test, and fasting isn't required. Please ask your doctor if there are any precautions to be taken.


    Risks and limitations of Thyroid Function Test

    These blood tests are common, and they don’t carry significant risks. You might have a slight pain like an ant bite when the needle gets inserted, and a small bruise can develop there.

    • Giving 5 stars just for that customer care representative. I was super angry on the delay and he took complete responsibility. He waited and coordinated with me for 1-1.5 hours to get the things done. His name is Vijay. Giving 5 stars, just because of him. Orange Labs. this 5 stars is just for the way he handled the things and took responsibility. Delayed reports. No one took responsibility except one person. Thanks to him.

    • The best experience I have had in the last two weeks with multiple tests booked for different family members. From the moment I contacted them till the receipt of the results and re-bookings for follow up tests, everything was fantastic. Pls note the sample taking covered early morning visit, for a patient aged 90+!! Initially I had made the big mistake of contacting another big-noise, big-ad spending Lab service provider based on a Google search of a particular test resulting in its top of page listing, and was utterly disgusted with that Labs' service. I would fully recommend Orange for anyone - possibly any test, any age patient. Thank you Orange Labs.
