At a Glance
Profile: Thyroid Profile. Tests: 3 parameters: Tri-Iodothyronine Total (TT3), Thyroxine - Total (TT4) and Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH). Price: From 370. Fasting: Not required. Sample: Serum. Reports: 24 hours, digital. Home collection: Available across Greater Noida; any charge is shown in the booking flow. Lab: NABL-accredited. Greater Noida is spread out, and for many residents reaching a collection centre is a trip in itself. A Thyroid Profile is the kind of test that should not need one. It measures TT3, TT4 and TSH from a single serum sample, with no fasting, so a phlebotomist can visit your home at any convenient hour and the result is valid whichever slot you choose. ## Three Hormones, One Sample Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) is produced by the pituitary gland and signals the thyroid to work. It is usually the first value to move when the thyroid falters. Thyroxine - Total (TT4) is the main hormone the thyroid secretes. Tri-Iodothyronine Total (TT3) is the more active hormone, largely made by converting T4 elsewhere in the body. Both are "total" values, counting protein-bound and free hormone together. ## What the Numbers Suggest A high TSH alongside a low TT4 indicates hypothyroidism. A high TSH with TT4 in range is subclinical hypothyroidism, which is normally retested after some weeks before a decision is made. A low TSH with raised TT4 or TT3 suggests hyperthyroidism. An Indian study found roughly one in ten adults hypothyroid, with women affected about three times as often as men (15.86% versus 5.02%) (Unnikrishnan et al., 2013). ## When Distance Decides Whether the Test Happens Thyroid problems often progress slowly, and a test that needs a half-day journey is easily postponed for months. That is a particular risk for an older parent in a residential sector, a student in Knowledge Park or Alpha without their own transport, or a family that moved to Gaur City or Greater Noida West for space. Home collection removes the trip: no fasting means no early start, and no travel means no day off lost. The area is large and sample pick-up across Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Pari Chowk and Techzone 4 is arranged by slot in the booking flow. Report delivery is digital, so nothing has to be collected afterwards either. ## What This Profile Does Not Establish It cannot identify the cause of a thyroid disorder. Autoimmune thyroid disease is shown by antibody tests such as Anti-TPO, which are not included. TT3 and TT4 total values can change when binding proteins change, as in pregnancy or with oestrogen-containing medicines, without a true change in thyroid function. Acute illness and some medicines temporarily disturb TSH; biotin supplements can distort certain immunoassays. A borderline result is normally repeated before any diagnosis, and swelling in the neck needs an ultrasound, which a blood test cannot replace. A normal profile makes thyroid disease unlikely as the explanation for symptoms but does not rule out other causes of tiredness, such as anaemia or low vitamin levels, which need their own tests. ## If You Need More Than One Panel Where a doctor has requested several tests, a package costs less than separate bookings and saves repeat visits. Full Body Checkup with Thyroid (80 parameters) is the first package that includes this profile, and it is also in Advanced Full Body Checkup with Vitamin D & B12 (89 parameters) and the packages above it. Packages contain a Lipid Profile and Fasting Glucose and need a 10-hour fast; this profile does not. ## What Is Not Included No Free T3 or Free T4, no Anti-TPO or anti-thyroglobulin antibodies, no thyroglobulin, no reverse T3, no thyroid scan or ultrasound, and no Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, blood count or iron markers. Each is a separate order. The sample is processed at a NABL-accredited laboratory in our network. NABL accreditation is granted to individual laboratories after evaluation of their equipment, processes and personnel, and HealthVas does not claim to hold it. ## Sources Unnikrishnan AG, et al.
