Thyroid Test (T3) in Pune

The Thyroid Test, also known as TFT (Thyroid Function Test), measures three key hormones: TSH, T3, and T4. TSH is produced by your pituitary gland to control thyroid function, while T3 and T4 are the actual thyroid hormones that regulate your metabolism, energy levels, and body temperature.

This test helps detect thyroid disorders early, before they cause serious health problems. An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) can lead to weight gain, depression, and heart problems, while an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) can cause anxiety, heart palpitations, and bone loss. Early detection allows for proper treatment to restore normal hormone levels.

You should consider this thyroid screen if you experience unexplained fatigue, sudden weight changes, hair loss, depression, or dry skin. Women over 35, people with family history of thyroid disease, and those with autoimmune conditions should get regular testing. Sometimes called Total thyroid screen, it's also recommended during pregnancy planning.

High TSH (above 4.0 mIU/L) usually indicates hypothyroidism - your thyroid isn't making enough hormones, so your pituitary works harder. Low TSH (below 0.4 mIU/L) typically suggests hyperthyroidism - your thyroid is overactive, so your pituitary reduces stimulation. Your doctor will also check T3 and T4 levels for complete assessment.

If your first test is normal, repeat every 2-3 years after age 35, or annually if you have risk factors. People already on thyroid medication need testing every 6-12 months to monitor treatment effectiveness. The test is also referred to as Thyroid screen in some medical settings and helps track your progress over time.
