Test Overview
What is a Thyroid Panel-4 in Bangalore?
A Thyroid Panel-4 Test in Bangalore measures key thyroid hormones in your blood to assess how well your thyroid gland is functioning. It evaluates Free T4 (Thyroxine) and TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) to help detect thyroid disorders such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
Your thyroid gland regulates metabolism, body temperature, and energy levels. Testing these hormones helps identify imbalances that may cause fatigue, weight changes, mood fluctuations, or fertility concerns.
What Does a Thyroid Panel-4 Measure in Bangalore?
This test evaluates two critical thyroid hormones:
- Free T4 (FT4): The active thyroid hormone responsible for metabolism and energy control.
- TSH: Produced by the pituitary gland to stimulate thyroid hormone production.
Together, these results help your doctor:
- Diagnose underactive or overactive thyroid conditions.
- Monitor response to thyroid treatment.
- Investigate symptoms such as tiredness, weight gain, or anxiety.
- Track thyroid health during pregnancy or long-term therapy.
Who Should Consider a Thyroid Panel-4?

- Experience fatigue, hair loss, or changes in weight or mood.
- Have a family history of thyroid disease.
- Are pregnant or planning pregnancy.
- Are on thyroid medication and need regular monitoring.
- Have irregular menstrual cycles or fertility issues.
What Is the Purpose of a Thyroid Panel-4?
The test helps assess thyroid hormone balance, detect early thyroid dysfunction, and guide treatment decisions for both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
