ABOUT BASIC THYROID PANEL
The basic thyroid panel measures three key hormones: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH), Free T4 (FT4), and Total T3. This test is commonly used to evaluate symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, mood shifts, or changes in heart rate, which may be related to thyroid function. It helps detect both underactive and overactive thyroid disorders and can serve as a starting point for more detailed thyroid evaluation if needed.
This test is ideal if you’re experiencing symptoms such as low energy, unexplained weight gain or loss, anxiety, or changes in temperature sensitivity. It’s also useful for routine thyroid monitoring.
The panel measures TSH, Free T4, and Total T3—hormones that regulate metabolism and overall energy balance.
It provides a snapshot of how well your thyroid is functioning and can detect common disorders like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
No special preparation is necessary. You can take the test at any time of day unless instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider.
