Thyroid function tests is a collective term for blood tests used to check the function of the thyroid. TFTs may be requested if a patient is thought to suffer from hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism , or to monitor the effectiveness of either thyroid-suppression or hormone replacement therapy. It is also requested routinely in conditions linked to thyroid disease, such as atrial fibrillation and anxiety disorder.
A TFT panel typically includes thyroid hormones such as thyroid-stimulating hormone and thyroxine , and triiodothyronine depending on local laboratory policy.
