This test measures the amount of free T4 and Ultrasensitive thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) produced by the thyroid gland and pituitary gland, respectively. T4/Thyroxine is responsible for maintaining the body's metabolism, mood and temperature. Ultrasensitive TSH is the primary measure of the proper functioning of the thyroid gland. The measurement of T4 free, along with Ultrasensitive TSH, assesses the functioning of the thyroid gland and helps to detect the disorders related to the thyroid gland. High levels of Ultrasensitive TSH indicate a drop in T4 level (Hypothyroidism), while decreased Ultrasensitive TSH points towards an elevated T4 level. (Hyperthyroidism) Initial symptoms of abnormal thyroid levels are sudden weight fluctuations, irritability, goitre, hair loss and skin problems. A pregnant woman should always keep a regular check on her thyroid level.
T4 Total, also known as total thyroxine, measures the overall level of the hormone thyroxine in the blood. Thyroxine is produced by the thyroid gland and plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism and energy levels in the body. Abnormal T4 Total levels can indicate an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) or an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).
TSH, or thyroid-stimulating hormone, is produced by the pituitary gland and regulates the production of thyroxine by the thyroid gland. TSH levels are usually inversely related to T4 Total levels. If T4 Total levels are low, the pituitary gland releases more TSH to stimulate the thyroid gland to produce more thyroxine. Conversely, if T4 Total levels are high, TSH secretion is decreased. Abnormal TSH levels may suggest an issue with the thyroid, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
The T4 Total and TSH tests are commonly performed together to get a comprehensive assessment of thyroid function. By evaluating both T4 Total and TSH levels, healthcare professionals can identify potential problems with the thyroid gland and determine appropriate treatment options.
In summary, T4 Total and TSH are blood tests used to evaluate thyroid function. These tests provide valuable information about hormone levels and can help identify thyroid disorders, such as hypo- or hyperthyroidism. The results of these tests assist healthcare professionals in diagnosing and managing thyroid-related conditions.
