This test allows to assess the functionality of the thyroid gland (It is located in the neck, just in front of the trachea), responsible for producing hormones that regulate the basal metabolic rate (energy for cells to survive) of the body, growth, development (especially in the child and the fetus) and respiration, among other processes.
The thyroid profile is essential to rule out or confirm thyroid conditions, specifically:
Hypothyroidism: insufficient hormonal release that generates intolerance to cold, constipation, mood swings, tiredness, pains muscular (myalgia) and joints, brittle hair and nails, heavy menstruation, infertility problems and weight gain with decreased appetite.
Hyperthyroidism: excessive production of hormones leading to fatigue, frequent bowel movements, intolerance to heat, increased appetite, profuse sweating, nervousness, irregular periods Y lost of weight.
