Standard Thyroid Test

• T3 (Triiodothyronine): Measures the level of T3 in your blood, which can help diagnose hyperthyroidism and is used to understand the severity of hyperthyroidism or to detect T3 thyrotoxicosis.
• TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): Assesses the amount of TSH to evaluate thyroid function and diagnose thyroid disorders, including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
• T4 (Thyroxine): Measures the level of T4 in your blood, providing information on how the thyroid is functioning. It's often used in conjunction with TSH testing to diagnose thyroid diseases.

• Medications: Certain medications can influence thyroid hormone levels, so it's important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, or vitamins you are taking.

• Sample Collection: This test involves drawing blood from a vein in your arm. The process is similar to any standard blood test and involves minimal discomfort.
• Duration: The blood draw takes only a few minutes, though additional time may be needed for paperwork or waiting at the clinic.

Depending on the results, further testing or follow-up appointments may be necessary. It is essential to discuss your test results with your healthcare provider, who can offer an interpretation and recommend any next steps or treatment.
