Thyroid Function (TSH, T3, T4) in Dubai.
Thyroid disease is the most common endocrine disorder we diagnose in Dubai, and the symptoms — fatigue, weight change, hair shedding, low mood, brain fog — are almost universal in busy adults, which is exactly why it gets missed. A proper thyroid panel measures TSH, free T4 and free T3 so we can distinguish primary thyroid disease from pituitary problems, and from the 'normal TSH but symptomatic' picture that often turns out to be conversion or autoimmunity. We add TPO antibodies for anyone with a family history or borderline TSH because autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's) is the commonest cause and changes how we treat.
Blood tests, done properly.
Watch how longevity-grade bloods actually work at Aafiyah Care — drawn by a registered nurse at your home or our Business Bay clinic, then personally reviewed and explained by a British-trained GP. Not a PDF and a shrug. Real answers on your biomarkers, your risk, your next step.

Fatigue, weight change, mood, hair.
Thyroid disease affects roughly 1 in 8 women over a lifetime. It is easily missed because symptoms — tiredness, weight change, mood, hair — are blamed on stress or 'getting older'. A full thyroid panel takes one tube of blood and resolves the question.

Frequently asked questions
What does a high TSH mean?+
A high TSH usually means your thyroid is underactive (hypothyroidism) — the pituitary is shouting at the thyroid to make more hormone. Mild elevations (4–10 mIU/L) with normal T4 are 'subclinical' and we treat case-by-case based on symptoms, antibodies and pregnancy plans.
What is a normal TSH level for women in Dubai?+
Most labs use 0.4–4.0 mIU/L. For women trying to conceive or pregnant we aim tighter — under 2.5 in the first trimester — because thyroid hormone is critical for fetal brain development.
Should I take my levothyroxine before the blood test?+
No — take it after. Levothyroxine taken just before the test temporarily raises free T4 and can give a misleading 'normal' result. Take it as soon as you finish the blood draw.
Where can I get a Thyroid Function Test near me in Dubai?+

How much does a Thyroid Function Test cost in Dubai?+
Our Thyroid Function Test starts at AED 250, which includes the nurse visit, lab processing at an accredited Dubai lab, doctor review of your results and a follow-up consultation if anything needs explaining. There are no hidden fees and no separate call-out charge inside Dubai.
How quickly will I get my Thyroid Function Test results?+
Most Thyroid Function Test results are released within 24 hours and reviewed by a British-trained GP the same day they arrive. You receive a written, plain-English summary by email or WhatsApp — not just raw numbers — with a clear plan and follow-up offer where indicated.
Can stress cause an abnormal thyroid test?+
Severe acute illness or major stress can produce 'sick euthyroid' patterns where free T3 drops but TSH and T4 stay normal. This is not true thyroid disease and corrects when the underlying issue resolves.
