Neck hormone check

A thyroid test is a blood test measuring hormone levels to assess thyroid function.

The thyroid gland regulates metabolism, so these tests help diagnose conditions like hypothyroidism (underactive) or hyperthyroidism (overactive): Her thyroid test came back abnormal.

Common markers include TSH, T3, and T4.
