FT3 (Free T3), FT4 (Free T4), TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)

When does a doctor order Thyroid Panel - IV( FT3, FT4, TSH)?

Clinicians order a thyroid panel (FT3, FT4, TSH) when patients have symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, heat or cold intolerance, palpitations, or mood shifts. It helps diagnose and monitor hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and thyroiditis, and it evaluates response to thyroid medicines.

Who should get FT3, FT4, TSH done in Faridabad?

Thyroid disorders are prevalent across NCR, with industrial and vehicular pollution increasingly implicated. Women aged 25 to 50 across Sector 15, Sector 46, and Sainik Colony with fatigue or weight change should include TSH in their annual panel. Adults above 30 in Faridabad benefit from periodic health screening that includes Thyroid Panel - IV( FT3, FT4, TSH) as part of a broader preventive panel. Residents of Sector 37, Sainik Colony, and across the city with chronic conditions, those on long-term medication, and individuals with a relevant family history should test at the frequency their specialist recommends.

What conditions can FT3, FT4, TSH help diagnose?

A high TSH with low free T4 confirms hypothyroidism; a low TSH with high T3/T4 confirms hyperthyroidism. Positive anti-TPO antibodies point to autoimmune (Hashimoto's or Graves') disease. Subclinical patterns, a mildly abnormal TSH with normal T4, help identify people who need monitoring before overt disease develops. Abnormal results may come from autoimmune disease, iodine problems, pregnancy, certain drugs, or pituitary disorders. A family history of thyroid disease often prompts earlier testing.

What do FT3, FT4, TSH results mean?

TSH above 4.0 mIU/L with low free T4: hypothyroidism, levothyroxine replacement is started and TSH rechecked every 6-8 weeks until stable. TSH below 0.4 mIU/L with high free T3/T4: hyperthyroidism, requires antibody tests and thyroid scan. Elevated anti-TPO with normal TSH: autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's), monitor annually as this often progresses to hypothyroidism over years.

How often should FT3, FT4, TSH be repeated?

Adults with a normal result and no symptoms: every 2 to 3 years, or annually after age 35. Patients on levothyroxine: every 6 to 8 weeks after a dose change, then every 6 to 12 months once stable. Pregnant women and those planning pregnancy: as directed, since thyroid targets are tighter in pregnancy.
