Differences Between Basic and Advanced Thyroid Profiles
The basic Thyrocare thyroid profile contains Total T3, Total T4, and Ultrasensitive TSH. The Advanced Thyroid Profile includes those three tests along with FT3 and FT4.
| Profile Detail | Basic Thyroid Profile | Advanced Thyroid Profile |
|---|---|---|
| Total T3 | Included | Included |
| Total T4 | Included | Included |
| Ultrasensitive TSH | Included | Included |
| FT3 | Not included | Included |
| FT4 | Not included | Included |
| Total Parameters | 3 | 5 |
Total T3 and T4 vs Free FT3 and FT4
Total T3 and Total T4 measure the protein-bound and unbound forms of these hormones in the blood. FT3 and FT4 measure only the unbound or free thyroid hormones.
Including both total and free thyroid hormone tests provides the total circulating hormone values and the unbound hormone fractions. A doctor can interpret these results with UTSH, symptoms, medicines, pregnancy status, medical history, and earlier thyroid reports.
Thyrocare processes these tests using fully automated CLIA technology.
What Is Ultrasensitive TSH?
Ultrasensitive Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (UTSH or us-TSH) is a third-generation TSH test that can reliably measure very low TSH concentrations. Its higher analytical sensitivity helps identify suppressed TSH levels more precisely than older-generation TSH assays, which is important in thyroid function assessment and hyperthyroidism evaluation.
The Ultrasensitive TSH test at Thyrocare is processed using fully automated CMIA technology.
UTSH is interpreted together with T3, T4, FT3, and FT4 in the thyroid function report.
When Can This Five-Test Thyroid Profile Be Considered?
- When a doctor advises thyroid function testing for fatigue, unexplained weight change, heat or cold intolerance, hair fall, bowel changes, or menstrual irregularity
- For follow-up after an abnormal thyroid result
- For monitoring while taking thyroid medicine, according to the testing schedule advised by the doctor
- During pregnancy, when the treating doctor advises thyroid testing
What Is Not Included?
This thyroid function profile does not include the following thyroid antibody blood tests:
- Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody (Anti-TPO)
- Anti-Thyroglobulin Antibody (Anti-TG)
- TSH Receptor Antibody (TRAb)
A separate thyroid profile with thyroid antibodies, along with free and total thyroid hormones is available for comprehensive thyroid disease evaluation.
