What is THYROID FUNCTION TEST (TOTAL)?

This test measures the total levels of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) in your blood. It provides a general overview of how well your thyroid gland is functioning, which is crucial for metabolism and energy.

Why is this test important?

It helps diagnose conditions like hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). Monitoring these hormone levels is essential for managing thyroid disorders and related symptoms.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.

Do I need to fast before my blood test?
