Package Overview
The Thyroid Function Test measures three important hormones that help evaluate how well your thyroid gland is functioning. The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of your neck. It plays an important role in regulating metabolism, energy levels, body temperature, heart rate and overall body functions. This profile includes Total T3 (TT3), Total T4 (TT4) and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) to help identify possible thyroid hormone imbalances.
