What is a Thyroid Profile Blood Test 5 tests in 1 kit?
The thyroid is the largest endocrine gland in the body. It is responsible for the secretion of two hormones, T3 and T4.
Why get a Thyroid Profile?
The occurrence of thyroid problems is influenced by several factors: increased levels of stress. This chaotic diet does not bring the necessary nutrients, neglecting the first signs of illness and the absence of a periodic medical check-up.
Instructions for use
Please take your Thyroid Test sample in the morning. Take it at least one hour before any medication.
When you collect your sample, try the following tips:
- Drink plenty of water. Being well-hydrated will make it easier to collect your sample.
- Shower before you take your test or run your hands under warm water for a few minutes, as heat improves blood flow.
- Do light exercise (move around, walk, etc.) to get the blood flowing.
- Ensure your arm is below your heart level – let gravity do some of the work.
- Nails that are too long can make it difficult to collect a sample.
- Do not shake the sample vigorously, but invert the tube gently 10 times. (gently swirl the tube after each drop of blood).
- Do not squeeze (milk) the finger.
- Re-warm your hands during collection where needed.

- TSH: it measures the thyroid-stimulating hormone amount in your blood.
- TT3: is one of the main thyroid hormones, and it measures the amount of it in your blood.
- TT4: it measures the amount of thyroxine in your blood, which is produced by the thyroid gland and helps control metabolism and growth.
- FT3: it measures the amount of free triiodothyronine in your blood.
- FT4: it helps you understand how well your thyroid gland is working.
