At The Heartbeat Clinic, we offer detailed Thyroid Function Tests to help diagnose and manage thyroid conditions. Our skilled medical team and advanced diagnostic technology ensure that you receive accurate and timely results, helping you manage your thyroid health effectively.
Thyroid Function Tests are a series of blood tests used to evaluate the performance of the thyroid gland—a crucial organ responsible for regulating metabolism, energy production, and hormonal balance. These tests measure the concentrations of Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Free T3, Free T4, and thyroid antibodies in your blood to assess and manage thyroid disease.

Most of the time, no special preparation is necessary before thyroid function tests. However, it’s important to inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you are taking, as they can impact test results.
During the procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn from a vein in your arm using a needle. This process is quick and simple, usually lasting only a few minutes.
Your blood sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within a few days, depending on the specific tests ordered.
Thyroid Function Tests are safe, and serious complications are rare. Some common, mild discomforts may include slight pain or redness at the site where the blood is drawn. These side effects are usually mild and subside quickly.
Thyroid Function Tests provide valuable information about the performance of your thyroid gland. Key indicators include:
High TSH levels may indicate hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), while low TSH levels may suggest hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).
Abnormal levels of Free T3 and Free T4 can indicate an overactive or underactive thyroid gland. These hormones help evaluate the thyroid gland’s activity and hormone secretion.
The presence of thyroid antibodies may indicate autoimmune thyroid diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease. These antibodies can affect thyroid function and lead to various symptoms.
