What this test measures:
- •TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
- •T3 (Total Triiodothyronine)
- •T4 (Total Thyroxine)
- •Hormonal balance screening
Test Preparation & Instructions
Fasting & Dietary Rules: No fasting required, though morning sample collection is recommended before taking thyroid medication.
Medication advice: If you are taking any regular medication, please check with your doctor whether to take it before the sample extraction. Avoid drinking alcohol or smoking 24 hours prior to the test.
Hydration: Drink normal amounts of water before the test. Staying hydrated helps the phlebotomist locate veins easily, ensuring a painless draw.
