A Thyroid Screening test is a blood test used to evaluate how well your thyroid gland is functioning. The thyroid is a small gland in the neck that regulates metabolism, energy levels, and overall hormonal balance.

This test primarily measures hormones like TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone), T3, and T4, helping diagnose conditions such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). At Apollo Homecare, you can get your thyroid test done at home with accurate results and convenient sample collection.

A Thyroid Screening test is a simple blood test that checks how well your thyroid gland is working. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in your neck that plays a big role in controlling your energy levels, metabolism, mood, and overall hormonal balance.

What does the test check?

This test mainly looks at three important hormones:

• TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) – controls how active your thyroid is
• T3 and T4 – hormones that regulate how your body uses energy

If these levels are too high or too low, they may indicate conditions like

• Hypothyroidism (when the thyroid is slow, causing fatigue, weight gain, etc.)
• Hyperthyroidism (when the thyroid is overactive, causing weight loss, anxiety, etc.)

Why is this test important?

Thyroid problems often develop slowly and can be easily ignored in the beginning. This test helps detect issues early so they can be managed before they affect your daily life.
