What it measures
- TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) — A hormone from the pituitary gland that tells the thyroid to work. High TSH often means an underactive thyroid; low TSH may mean an overactive one.
- Free T4 (thyroxine) — The main thyroid hormone in your blood. It helps control energy and metabolism.
- Free T3 (triiodothyronine) — The active form of thyroid hormone. It affects how your body uses energy.
- Thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO Ab) — Antibodies that can attack the thyroid. Their presence may suggest an autoimmune thyroid condition.
Preparation
No fasting is usually required. Tell your clinician about any medicines or supplements you take, because some can affect thyroid test results.
