About the Test
A Thyroid Function Test checks how well your thyroid gland is regulating your metabolism by measuring TSH along with free T3 and free T4. TSH is the pituitary signal that rises when the thyroid is underactive and falls when it is overactive, while free T3 and T4 are the active hormones themselves. It is used for routine screening and to investigate symptoms such as fatigue, weight change, hair loss, palpitations, temperature sensitivity or mood changes.
What is it? A blood panel measuring TSH, free T3 and free T4 to assess thyroid activity, commonly called TFT, thyroid profile or thyroid function.

Thyroid Function Test test: purpose, preparation and results
Why take the Thyroid Function Test test?
- Routine screening, especially for women, those with a family history, or during fatigue and weight changes.
- To investigate symptoms like hair loss, palpitations, cold or heat intolerance, dry skin or mood changes.
- To monitor thyroid medication doses in people already diagnosed with an underactive or overactive thyroid.
How to prepare for the Thyroid Function Test test
No fasting is required for a thyroid function test. If you take thyroid medication, it is usually best to take your blood sample before your morning dose, and mention biotin supplements, which can interfere with some thyroid assays.
Understanding your Thyroid Function Test results
A high TSH with low free T4 typically suggests an underactive thyroid, while a low TSH with high free hormones suggests an overactive thyroid. Results can be affected by illness and medication, so interpretation should be done by a doctor.

No fasting is required. If you are on thyroid medication, taking the sample before your morning dose is preferable, and morning collection is often used for consistency across follow-up tests.
A high TSH often signals that the thyroid is underactive and the pituitary is working harder to stimulate it. It is confirmed alongside free T4 and your symptoms, so a doctor should interpret the full result.
Yes, thyroid testing is safe and often recommended in pregnancy because thyroid needs change. Pregnancy has its own reference ranges, so results should be reviewed by your doctor with that in mind.
Biotin, found in many hair and nail supplements, can interfere with some thyroid assays. It is often advised to pause high-dose biotin for a couple of days before testing and to tell us what you take.
