THE PURPOSE BEHIND THE PANEL.
Understand the thyroid pattern.
This is a thyroid-function panel rather than an explanation for every symptom. It may fit a clinician-led assessment of possible thyroid dysfunction or a prescribed monitoring plan. Comparing the relationship between TSH and the free hormones is more useful than labelling any one number as good or bad.

The signal and the hormones.
TSH describes the pituitary signal, while free T4 and free T3 measure circulating thyroid hormones. Looking at the relationship helps put a single result in context.
What this means in context
The panel does not include thyroid antibodies or ultrasound. Medicines, supplements and other illness may influence the pattern.
KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE CHOOSING.
3 biomarkers. The scope, made clear.
The headline measurement count includes multi-component panels where present. The included test records and their published nested measurements are displayed separately so the count is transparent.

Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
Measures TSH, the pituitary signal to the thyroid, and is interpreted with thyroid hormone results and clinical context.

THE RIGHT START DEPENDS ON YOU.
A useful package. A personal decision.
Choose the investigation around the question you want to discuss. Thyroid antibodies, thyroid imaging and other causes of similar symptoms are outside this three-test panel.
01
A defined question
This is a thyroid-function panel rather than an explanation for every symptom. It may fit a clinician-led assessment of possible thyroid dysfunction or a prescribed monitoring plan. Comparing the relationship between TSH and the free hormones is more useful than labelling any one number as good or bad.
02
Matching a prescription
Compare the full included list with your clinician’s request. Thyroid antibodies, thyroid imaging and other causes of similar symptoms are outside this three-test panel.
03
Following a previous finding
Bring earlier results and the relevant symptom or treatment history. The clinician can decide whether this scope, a smaller test selection or a different investigation is the most useful next step.
MAKE THE SAMPLE COUNT.
A little preparation. A more useful result.
Preparation follows the actual specimen and tests in Thyroid Function. Confirm your personal instructions before collection.

THE NEXT STEP IS PERSONAL.
Bring the findings back to you.
Connect the laboratory findings with the reason for this specific test. A report supports the next clinical conversation; it does not decide it for you.
01
Read the thyroid relationship
Review TSH alongside free T4 and free T3, your symptoms and any thyroid treatment. The clinician can decide whether the pattern needs confirmation, an additional investigation or a change to the monitoring plan.
02
Agree the next step
Discuss this result with a clinician who knows the reason for testing. Further investigations or follow-up depend on the actual findings and your circumstances.

BEFORE YOU BOOK.
A little more clarity.
Preparation, sample types, timing and what the package does—and does not—include.
What is included in Thyroid Function?
Three connected measurements: the pituitary signal TSH and circulating free T4 and free T3. A blood sample that can support a focused thyroid conversation. The full named inventory on this page is the scope of the package.
Does this include thyroid antibodies?
No. The included tests are TSH, free T4 and free T3. Antibody testing or imaging is considered separately when the clinical question calls for it.
Why do TSH and free thyroid hormones need to be read together?
TSH is a pituitary signal; free T4 and free T3 are circulating thyroid hormones. Their relationship helps a clinician understand a pattern that one number may not explain.
Can supplements affect thyroid results?
Some supplements, including products containing biotin, may interfere with certain laboratory methods. Tell the team what you take; ask for personal instructions rather than stopping medicines or supplements independently.
Can I use this to change my thyroid medicine?
Use the results in a review with the prescribing clinician. Do not change the dose based only on the report or an on-page explanation.
How should I prepare?
This package does not require fasting for this testing. Confirm whether any additional tests in your booking change that instruction; do not alter prescribed medicines without advice.
Can I arrange collection in Dubai?
Yes. Choose home collection across Dubai or a visit to Intel Lab in Deira. Any health package waives the collection fee for its own visit; separate appointments are assessed separately.
What is the price and expected turnaround?
The package price is AED 199; the listed turnaround is 24 hours. Confirm collection and processing arrangements with the team. Turnaround is not a guarantee that every result will be released at one exact time.
What happens after I receive the result?
Review relevant findings with a qualified clinician alongside the reason for testing, symptoms, medicines and prior results. The report may lead to reassurance about the tested question, confirmation, a targeted investigation or follow-up—not an automatic treatment decision.
YOUR NEXT STEP. AROUND YOU.
A clearer question. A more informed next step.
