The thyroid profile in this catalogue is total T3, total T4 and TSH, on serum, by CLIA or ECLIA. Opening price ₹700. It is not a free-hormone panel. Free T3 and free T4 are their own tests, each opening at ₹500.
The ranges that open
Total T3 opens at 0.80–2.00 ng/mL. Total T4 opens at 5.1–14.1 µg/dL. TSH changes with age. In the first week of life the band is 1.0–20.0 µIU/mL. From 18 years it is 0.4–4.5. A laboratory whose kit insert says something else should replace the band. The report will keep using the band that was in force when that order was booked.
TSH by itself opens at ₹350 and uses the same age bands. Booking both the profile and a separate TSH prints two TSH rows. Take one of them off the bill if the doctor asked for a single profile.
The rest of the hormone list
The department has 12 tests. Besides the thyroid set, it opens with FSH, LH, prolactin, total testosterone, estradiol, quantitative beta hCG, morning cortisol and intact PTH. FSH and LH are typed against cycle phases rather than one numeric band. Prolactin from age 18 opens at 2.6–13.1 ng/mL for a man and 3.3–26.7 for a woman. Morning cortisol opens at 5–25 µg/dL. PTH prefers EDTA plasma and opens at 15–65 pg/mL. Beta hCG opens with a non-pregnant line under 5 mIU/mL. None of these rows interprets a result. They store a number and a range.
