Thyroid Function Testing
Thyroid Function Testing
At Sakkthi Clinical Laboratory and Andrology Centre, we provide reliable thyroid function tests to evaluate the activity of the thyroid gland through simple blood analysis. These tests help clinicians assess thyroid hormone levels and identify possible imbalances that may affect overall health.
What Is the Thyroid Gland?
The thyroid gland is a small butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck. It produces hormones that regulate several important body functions, including metabolism, energy levels, body temperature, and heart rate.
Proper thyroid function is essential for maintaining the body’s metabolic balance and overall well-being.
When Should Thyroid Testing Be Considered?
Thyroid function testing may be recommended if a person experiences:
Unexplained weight gain or weight loss
Persistent fatigue or weakness
Hair loss or thinning hair
Changes in heart rate
Irregular menstrual cycles
Sensitivity to cold or heat
These symptoms may sometimes be associated with thyroid hormone imbalance.
Common Thyroid Tests
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone): A primary screening test that helps determine whether the thyroid gland is functioning normally.
T3 (Triiodothyronine): Measures the level of active thyroid hormone involved in regulating metabolism.
T4 (Thyroxine): Evaluates the amount of hormone produced by the thyroid gland and helps assess thyroid function.
Sample Required
Thyroid function tests are performed using a blood sample collected from a vein, which is analyzed using standardized laboratory methods.

Detect thyroid hormone imbalances
