Thyroid Profile Test
(Comprehensive Screening)

The Thyroid Profile Test evaluates the function of your thyroid gland by measuring hormone levels in your blood to detect hypo- or hyperthyroidism and maintain metabolic health.

Overview

A Thyroid Profile Test measures key hormones in your blood, including TSH, T3, and T4, to assess thyroid gland function and detect imbalances that may affect metabolism.

This test helps identify conditions like hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and other thyroid disorders, which can influence energy levels, weight, and overall health.

Thyroid function testing is recommended for individuals experiencing fatigue, weight changes, irregular heart rate, or as part of routine preventive health checkups.

What We Do

Our lab performs Thyroid Profile Tests using precise, modern equipment for accurate measurement of TSH, T3, and T4 levels. All reports are reviewed by experienced endocrinologists and medical experts.

Thyroid Profile Components
  • TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
  • Free T3 (Triiodothyronine)
  • Free T4 (Thyroxine)
  • Total T3
  • Total T4
Why Thyroid Profile Is Recommended
  • Detection of thyroid dysfunction
  • Monitoring thyroid hormone therapy
  • Assessment of metabolic health
  • Early diagnosis of hypo- or hyperthyroidism
  • Evaluation of symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, and mood swings
  • Routine preventive health checkups
Health Tips & Information

Maintaining a balanced diet rich in iodine, regular exercise, stress management, and timely thyroid testing can help maintain optimal thyroid function and overall health.

No fasting is generally required, but it is advisable to follow any specific instructions given by your doctor.

Thyroid Profile reports are usually available within the same day or the next working day.

Thyroid testing helps detect hormonal imbalances early, allowing timely intervention to maintain metabolism and overall health.

Lipid Profile Test (Cholesterol Analysis) Components

A Lipid Profile Test measures different types of cholesterol and fats in the blood to assess heart health.

Total Cholesterol

Indicates the overall amount of cholesterol present in the blood.

Desirable Level
Less than 200 mg/dL

LDL Cholesterol (Bad)

High levels increase the risk of heart disease and artery blockage.

Optimal Level
Less than 100 mg/dL

HDL Cholesterol (Good)

Helps remove bad cholesterol from the bloodstream.

Healthy Level
Men: ≥ 40 mg/dL
Women: ≥ 50 mg/dL

Triglycerides

A type of fat that increases heart risk when elevated.

Normal Level
Less than 150 mg/dL

VLDL Cholesterol

Carries triglycerides and contributes to plaque buildup.

Normal Level
5–40 mg/dL

Cholesterol Ratio

Ratio of total cholesterol to HDL, indicating heart disease risk.

Ideal Ratio
Below 4.5

The Lipid Profile Test Process

What to expect before, during, and after your cholesterol test

1

Preparation

Fasting for 8–12 hours is usually required for accurate lipid measurements.

2

During the Test

A small blood sample is drawn from a vein by a trained phlebotomist.

3

After the Test

You can resume normal activities immediately; no special care is needed.

4

Results

Lipid profile reports are typically available within the same day or next working day.

Tips for Accurate Results

  • Fasting is recommended before the test
  • Drink water but avoid sugary drinks
  • Avoid alcohol and fatty meals before the test
  • Inform your doctor about current medications
  • Carry a valid ID and test request form
Test Duration

Less than 10 minutes

Understanding Your Results

How to interpret Lipid Profile (Cholesterol Analysis) results

↑ Higher Than Normal

Total Cholesterol: Increased risk of heart disease

LDL (Bad Cholesterol): Plaque buildup in arteries

Triglycerides: Risk of pancreatitis and cardiovascular problems

VLDL: Contributes to arterial plaque formation

↓ Lower Than Normal

HDL (Good Cholesterol): Reduced protection against heart disease

Total Cholesterol: Possible malnutrition or liver issues

Triglycerides: Rare, may indicate metabolic issues

Cholesterol Ratio: May not provide sufficient heart protection

Important Considerations

  • Normal ranges may vary by age, gender, and lab methods
  • Single abnormal values may not indicate disease
  • Medications, diet, and lifestyle can affect results
  • Always consult your doctor for accurate interpretation
