Thyroid Test – Complete Guide, Symptoms, Diagnosis

The thyroid gland plays a crucial role in regulating your body’s metabolism, temperature, heart rate, and even mood. Located in the front of your neck, this butterfly-shaped gland produces vital hormones—T3 (Triiodothyronine), T4 (Thyroxine), and TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)—that affect almost every cell in the body.

If this delicate hormonal balance is disturbed, it can lead to serious medical conditions. Therefore, timely and accurate thyroid testing is essential for both diagnosis and treatment.

At Nayab Labs & Diagnostic Centre, we provide reliable, affordable, and internationally accredited thyroid testing services in Pakistan.

Common Thyroid Disorders & Their Symptoms

There are two major thyroid dysfunctions:

1. Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid)

When the thyroid gland produces too little hormone.

Symptoms include:

  • Chronic fatigue
  • Weight gain despite normal diet
  • Depression or brain fog
  • Cold intolerance
  • Dry skin and brittle hair
  • Irregular or heavy menstrual cycles
  • Slow heart rate
  • Constipation

2. Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid)

When the thyroid gland produces too much hormone.

Symptoms include:

  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Fast or irregular heartbeat
  • Nervousness or restlessness
  • Tremors in hands or fingers
  • Sweating and heat intolerance
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Light or absent periods
  • Increased appetite

Thyroid dysfunction is more common in women, especially after childbirth or during menopause. However, it also affects men and even children.


Diagnosis – How is Thyroid Disease Detected?

Thyroid disease cannot be diagnosed solely based on symptoms. Blood tests are essential to measure the exact levels of hormones and antibodies. These tests help identify whether the thyroid is overactive, underactive, or affected by an autoimmune disorder like Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease.

At Nayab Labs, we recommend the following tests:

Test Name Purpose Short Description
TSH First-line test Measures pituitary hormone stimulating thyroid
T3 (FT3) Confirms hyperthyroidism Measures circulating active T3
T4 (FT4) Confirms hypo-/hyperthyroidism Measures circulating active T4
Anti-TPO Antibodies Autoimmune screening Detects Hashimoto’s or Graves’
TgAb (Thyroglobulin Antibodies) Cancer marker & autoimmune check Monitors thyroid cancer or inflammation
Thyroid Ultrasound Imaging support Detects nodules, goiter, or structural issues
