    GlossaryThyroid Function Tests (TFTs)

    measure thyroid hormone levels to assess gland performance

    Thyroid Function Tests (TFTs) are a series of blood tests used to evaluate how well the thyroid gland is working. These tests typically measure levels of thyroid hormones such as Thyroxine (T4), Triiodothyronine (T3), and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH). Abnormal levels can indicate conditions like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, which can affect various bodily functions, including metabolism and hair growth.
