Thyroid Function Test - TFT

A Thyroid Function Test (TFT) is a blood test used to measure how well your thyroid is working. The thyroid is a gland that regulates metabolism, energy levels, and overall body functions. The test measures levels of thyroid hormones, such as:

1. TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) – Indicates whether the thyroid is producing enough hormones.
2. T3 (Triiodothyronine) – Measures the active hormone affecting metabolism.
3. T4 (Thyroxine) – Shows how much hormone the thyroid gland is releasing.

These tests help diagnose conditions like hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). Regular testing is important for those with symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, or irregular heartbeat.
