The Free Thyroid Hormone Profile is a blood test that measures the levels of free thyroxine (FT4) and triiodothyronine (FT3) in the blood. FT4 and FT3 are hormones produced by the thyroid gland that regulate metabolism in the body. The test is performed by taking a blood sample from the patients arm and analyzing the levels of FT4 and FT3 in the serum using immunoassay techniques. The results of the test help diagnose thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
Individuals who have symptoms of thyroid dysfunction such as fatigue, weight gain or loss, hair loss, mood changes, and changes in bowel habits.
Patients who have a family history of thyroid disease or have received previous radiation therapy to the neck area.
Pregnant women who have a history of thyroid disease or who are at high risk for developing thyroid disease during pregnancy.
The person should consult with their healthcare provider or an endocrinologist for further evaluation and management of the abnormal results.
Based on the severity and type of abnormality, the healthcare provider may recommend additional tests or imaging studies to determine the underlying cause of the abnormality.
Treatment options will depend on the specific diagnosis, but may include medication, lifestyle changes, or surgery. It is important for the person to follow their healthcare providers recommendations and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor their thyroid function.
