Thyroid Function Test BASIC
Have your thyroid gland examined to know the values of 3 parameters.
Within the assessment of the thyroid gland function, we will identify the values of 3 parameters – TSH (thyrotropin), fT3 (free triiodothyronine) and fT4 (free thyroxin). The thyroid gland is responsible for the production of thyroid hormones, which significantly affect almost every cell in the body. Its key role is to regulate metabolism, affects the rate of burning calories, and is also involved in the modulation of heart rate. Check the condition of your thyroid gland by taking a laboratory blood test.

What´s measured
Why undergo a Thyroid Function Test BASIC?
This test package is suitable for individuals interested in assessing the function of their thyroid gland.
The thyroid gland, an endocrine organ, synthesises the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Dysfunctions of this gland can present as local changes in the neck area (goiter), but more prominently as systemic metabolic manifestations due to inadequate or excessive hormone production. Thyroid activity is regulated by hormones secreted by the pituitary gland, including thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)
Symptoms of thyroid disorders are indicative of either inadequate or excessive hormone production. These symptoms encompass fatigue, hair loss, changes in weight, heart palpitations, tremors in the limbs, swelling, hot flashes or chills, and dry skin, among others [1].
Thyroid Function Test BASIC includes
TSH – thyrotropin, thyroid-stimulating hormone
TSH is a hormone produced by the cells of the anterior lobe of the hypophysis/pituitary gland. It affects the metabolism of thyroid cells and stimulates the production and secretion of thyroid hormones, especially thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
fT3 – free triiodothyronine
Free T3 (fT3) is an active form of triiodothyronine (T3) – a hormone produced primarily in the thyroid gland. The effect of the free fraction of the T3 hormone is approximately 10-times higher than that of thyroxine. Many serious health conditions, such as cancer or a critical threat to life, may be accompanied with the low T3 syndrome; in such as case, the physiological levels of TSH and fT4 are tested at a decreased level of T3 (total and free).
ft4 – free thyroxine
Free T4 (fT4) is a physiologically active form of thyroxine. Thyroxine (T4) is one of the two main thyroid hormones. It is produced exclusively in the thyroid gland and it is a natural part of the thyroid gland regulatory system. It also affects the overall metabolism. Moreover, it is a prohormone of the biologically more active triiodothyronine (T3).
Notice
The definitive diagnosis is determined by a physician, based on further tests.
