Thyroid

Tests that look at thyroid hormones

Thyroid

The thyroid is a small gland that helps regulate metabolism. Doctors use blood tests to see how well it is working and, in some cases, to look for thyroid antibodies. These tests don't diagnose anything on their own, and this isn't a recommendation to take any of them — a doctor decides which are relevant for you.

Thyroid Profile (T3, T4, TSH)

Blood tests that check how well your thyroid gland is working by measuring thyroid hormones and the hormone that controls them.

Thyroid Antibodies

Blood tests that check for antibodies that affect the thyroid.

Speak with your doctor

Talk to a doctor if you have symptoms such as a swelling in the neck, unexplained weight change or feeling unusually hot or cold.
