About the package
Inside the Thyroid Function
A thyroid test in Dubai is often the fastest way to explain symptoms that seem unrelated to one another: fatigue that sleep does not fix, weight that moves without a change in diet, feeling cold, dry skin, thinning hair, low mood, a racing heart or unsettled bowels. The Thyroid Function package measures 3 tests from a single blood draw: thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroxine (FT4) and free tri-iodothyronine (FT3). Between them they cover both halves of the system: the pituitary signal that instructs the gland, and the two active hormones the gland releases into your blood.
TSH is the most sensitive single marker, because the pituitary reacts to small shifts long before the hormones themselves drift out of range. Reading all three together is what separates the common patterns. A raised TSH alongside a low FT4 points towards an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), a common and treatable cause of unexplained tiredness and weight gain. A suppressed TSH with a high FT4 or FT3 points towards an overactive gland (hyperthyroidism). A raised TSH with a normal FT4 is the subclinical pattern your doctor may choose to monitor rather than treat. FT3 earns its place because it is often the first value to rise in early hyperthyroidism, and occasionally the only abnormal one.
One serum sample covers all three markers. No fasting is needed, so eat and drink as normal; a DHA-licensed phlebotomist collects at your home or office anywhere in Dubai, seven days a week, free of charge, and a lab visit is available if you prefer. Results reach you within 24 hours as a physician-reviewed Smart Report.
If you already take thyroid medication, most doctors recheck a few weeks after any dose change, because levels take time to settle. If a result is abnormal and your doctor wants to know why the gland is behaving as it is, antibody testing such as anti-TPO is the usual next step, read alongside your history.

How it works
From booking to answers in a few days
- 1
One blood draw, at home or the lab
A DHA-licensed phlebotomist visits your home or office anywhere in Dubai, seven days a week, and takes a single serum sample. Collection is free, and a lab visit is available instead.
- 2
No fasting, morning slot ideal
None of the three thyroid markers requires a fast, so eat as usual. If you take levothyroxine, many doctors suggest swallowing that day's dose after the sample rather than before it.
- 3
TSH, FT4 and FT3 from one tube
The pituitary signal and both free hormones are measured from that single serum tube at our EIAC-accredited laboratory (ISO 15189:2022, DHA licence 0046381), then verified by a pathologist.
- 4
Your report within 24 hours
Within 24 hours a secure digital Smart Report shows TSH, FT4 and FT3 beside their reference ranges, so you and your doctor can read the signal and the hormones as one picture.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
This one measures 3 tests: thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), the pituitary signal that drives the gland, plus free thyroxine (FT4) and free tri-iodothyronine (FT3), the two active hormones circulating in your blood. Together they show whether the gland is under-working, over-working or steady.
Because the number that matters is the relationship between them. TSH alone can be misleading soon after a dose change or during illness, and a normal FT4 can sit beside a clearly raised TSH. Seeing the signal and the hormones side by side is what lets your doctor place the result in a recognisable pattern.
Persistent fatigue, weight gain or loss you cannot explain, feeling cold or unusually hot, dry skin, hair thinning, constipation or loose stools, low mood, poor concentration, irregular periods, and palpitations or a tremor. Any of these can have other causes, which is why the panel helps assess rather than settles the question.
That combination is usually described as subclinical hypothyroidism: the pituitary is pushing harder, but the gland is still keeping the active hormone within range. Many people in this situation are simply monitored, and your doctor decides based on your symptoms, antibody status and any plans for pregnancy.
No. None of the three markers in this panel is affected enough by food to warrant a fast, so eat and drink as usual before your appointment. A morning slot is still worth choosing, since TSH is naturally a little higher early in the day and repeat tests are easier to compare.
Most doctors prefer the sample to be taken before the day's dose, because a tablet swallowed shortly beforehand can lift the measured FT4. Do not skip or change your medication on your own; if you are unsure, keep to your routine and tell us when you last took it.
After a change in dose, a few weeks is the usual interval, because levels need time to settle. Once you are stable, an annual check is common. If you are being watched for a borderline result, your doctor will set the interval based on your symptoms and history.
No: it covers the function markers only. If your doctor wants to know why the thyroid is behaving as it is, anti-TPO and anti-thyroglobulin can be added to the same draw.
It is AED 199 all in, with results within 24 hours as a secure digital Smart Report. The price covers the blood draw, free home collection anywhere in Dubai, laboratory analysis and physician review, with nothing added at the door.
Yes, and at no extra cost. A DHA-licensed phlebotomist comes to your home or office anywhere in Dubai, seven days a week, including early mornings. If you would rather come to us, a lab visit is available: just tell our team via contact.

The process was quick, clean, and well organized. I received my results on time without any hassle. I highly recommend Intel Lab for reliable medical services.
Adil AfridiI had my full OGTT done at Intel Lab and had a great experience. The employees were very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout the process. They explained each step clearly, which really helped ease my nerves. They also took my blood sample very carefully, especially since I’m afraid of needles, which I truly appreciated. Everything was handled professionally and smoothly. Highly recommended!
