Understanding Thyroid Comprehensive Package in Kattupakkam
What is Thyroid Comprehensive Package in Kattupakkam?
The Thyroid Comprehensive Package is a specialized assessment tailored to provide a thorough evaluation of thyroid function and detect potential thyroid-related conditions early. It includes key tests such as the Anti Thyroid Antibodies Panel and Thyroid Profile Total (T3, T4 & TSH), offering valuable insights into thyroid health. It is widely available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Kattupakkam.
Doctors may suggest the Thyroid Comprehensive Package if symptoms suggestive of thyroid dysfunction are present, such as unexplained weight changes, fatigue, hair loss, changes in heart rate, irregular periods, mood swings, heat or cold intolerance, etc. This package is also important for individuals with a family history of thyroid disorders or women experiencing fertility issues. Additionally, some people with normal thyroid levels may have thyroid antibodies, indicating a risk of developing thyroid problems in the future. During pregnancy, the Thyroid Comprehensive Package plays an important role in assessing thyroid health and identifying potential risks to the expecting mother and the growing baby.
Fasting is not required for the Thyroid Comprehensive Package. Maintain the continuity of taking your thyroid medications on the day of the test unless otherwise advised by the doctor.
What does Thyroid Comprehensive Package measure?
Contains 5 testsThe Thyroid Comprehensive Package includes two key blood tests that collectively measure thyroid function. The Anti Thyroid Antibodies Panel evaluates the presence of antibodies that indicate autoimmune thyroid disorders such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Graves' disease. These antibodies can potentially affect thyroid hormone production and overall thyroid health. Additionally, the Thyroid Profile Total assesses levels of T3 (Triiodothyronine), T4 (Thyroxine), and TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) in the blood. TSH, produced by the pituitary gland, stimulates the thyroid gland to produce T3 and T4 hormones, which play critical roles in regulating metabolism, energy levels, and other bodily functions. Measurement of these hormones provides insights into thyroid gland activity and helps diagnose conditions like hypo- or hyperthyroidism, thyroid nodules, and thyroid hormone imbalances. Together, these tests provide a comprehensive evaluation of thyroid health, aiding in early detection, treatment planning, and ongoing management of thyroid disorders.
Anti Thyroid Antibodies Panel
An Anti Thyroid Antibodies Panel measures the presence and levels of antibodies that target the thyroid gland. This includes antibodies such as anti-thyroid peroxidase (TPO) and anti-thyroglobulin (TG) . Elevated levels of these antibodies indicate an autoimmune response against the thyroid, which can help diagnose autoimmune thyroid disorders like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Grave’s disease.

Thyroid Profile Total (T3, T4 & TSH)
The Thyroid Profile Total (T3, T4 & TSH) measures the levels of three hormones in the blood, namely triiodothyronine hormone (T3) total, thyroxine hormone (T4) total, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). T3 and T4 are thyroid hormones that help regulate metabolism and energy levels in the body. On the other hand, TSH is produced by the pituitary gland and stimulates the thyroid gland to produce T3 and T4 hormones. The serum levels of the thyroid hormones and TSH have an inverse relationship, i.e., low T4 (as observed in hypothyroidism) and high T4 (as seen in hyperthyroidism) levels are associated with high and low TSH levels, respectively.
