    Important Blood Tests for Thyroid Function

    Thyroid function blood test helps to check the presence of specific antibodies and hormones in blood. Excessive or low levels of such antibodies and hormones will help to diagnose thyroid disease. This blood test will check:

    • TSH, which refers to thyroid-stimulating hormone. It is the initial test you will be recommended. The pituitary gland of the brain is responsible for secreting TSH and that in turn will stimulate other thyroid hormones like T4 and T3.
    • T3 looks for the level of triiodothyronine in the blood that is one of the key hormones produced by the thyroid.
    • T4 measures the level of thyroxine in the blood and it is another hormone produced by the thyroid.
    • Thyroid antibody tests verify the presence of thyroid antibodies in the blood. If you have antibodies then you may suffer from autoimmune disorder such as Hashimoto’s disease or Graves’ disease.
