Early starts, rotating shifts and physically tiring days make it easy to explain away fatigue, aches and weight change. For anyone in Faridabad's industrial and trade workforce, a Thyroid Profile is a simple way to check whether an underactive or overactive thyroid is part of the picture. It needs no fasting, so there is no meal to plan around before a shift, and the sample can be taken at a time that suits your roster. ## What Is Measured Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is released by the pituitary gland to drive the thyroid. It is typically the earliest value to change. Thyroxine - Total (TT4) is the main thyroid hormone in the blood. Tri-Iodothyronine Total (TT3) is the more active hormone, largely produced from T4 in the tissues. Each is a total value, covering hormone attached to carrier proteins and the free portion. ## Making Sense of the Results Raised TSH with low TT4 means hypothyroidism. Raised TSH with TT4 in range is subclinical hypothyroidism, usually repeated after a few weeks. Low TSH with raised TT4 or TT3 indicates hyperthyroidism. Roughly one in ten Indian adults is hypothyroid, and women are about three times as likely as men to be affected (15.86% versus 5.02%) (Unnikrishnan et al., 2013). ## Shift Patterns, Fatigue and Sampling Time Tiredness after a hard shift is expected; tiredness that does not lift on rest days, along with cold intolerance, dry skin, constipation or unexplained weight gain, is worth testing. TSH follows a daily rhythm, so the hour of the draw has some influence. If you work early or rotating shifts, tell your doctor your pattern, and for repeat tests choose the same point in your day each time. Consistency matters more than the clock hour. A sample at Sector 16, NIT 1 or Ballabgarh can be collected before you leave for work or after you return, and no fasting means no skipped breakfast. ## Where a Blood Test Stops This profile reports hormone levels only. It cannot determine why the thyroid is underactive; autoimmune disease is identified through antibody tests such as Anti-TPO, which are not included. Total T3 and T4 shift with binding protein changes in pregnancy or with oestrogen-containing medicines. TSH may be temporarily abnormal during illness or with some medicines, and biotin supplements can interfere with some immunoassays. Muscle aches or weakness have many causes, so a normal result means the thyroid is unlikely to be responsible, not that nothing is wrong. Neck swelling needs an ultrasound, which a blood test cannot replace. A borderline result is normally repeated before any diagnosis is made, since a single reading can be shifted by recent illness. ## Packages That Contain It Where several panels are needed, a package costs less than booking each alone. Full Body Checkup with Thyroid (80 parameters) is the first package to include this profile; Advanced Full Body Checkup with Vitamin D & B12 (89 parameters) and the larger ones do as well. All carry a Lipid Profile and Fasting Glucose, so they need a 10-hour fast; this profile does not. Packages also include a Kidney Function Test (KFT), which is useful for those whose work is physically heavy. ## What Is Not Included No Free T3 or Free T4, no Anti-TPO or anti-thyroglobulin antibodies, no thyroglobulin, no reverse T3, no thyroid ultrasound or scan, and no Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, blood count or iron markers. Each is a separate order. Samples are processed at a NABL-accredited laboratory in our network. NABL accreditation is granted to individual laboratories after evaluation of equipment, processes and personnel, and HealthVas does not claim to hold it. ## Sources Unnikrishnan AG, et al.

Fasting: Not required. Eat your usual breakfast before an early shift; the result is unaffected. Sample: One venous blood draw, processed as serum, covers TSH, TT4 and TT3. Shift timing: TSH follows a daily rhythm. For repeat tests, collect at the same point in your shift cycle each time, and tell your doctor whether you work early, late or rotating hours. Medicines: Continue prescribed medicines. For levothyroxine, ask your doctor whether to take it before or after the sample and keep the routine the same across tests. Supplements: Mention biotin, which can interfere with some thyroid assays. Home collection: Available across Faridabad, including NIT 1, 2, 3 and 5, Sector 7 to 21D, Sector 28, 29, 31, 37, 46, 55, 75 to 89, Old Faridabad, Ballabgarh, Neharpar, Greater Faridabad and Surajkund. Any charge is shown in the booking flow before you confirm. Reports: Digital within 24 hours with reference ranges and flagged values.
