Thyroid function tests (TFTs) are biochemical tests that assess whether the thyroid gland is overactive or underactive by measuring the number of thyroid hormones in the bloodstream. If you experience signs of an underactive thyroid gland, known as hypothyroidism, your doctor may order a thyroid function test. Another obvious reason to assess thyroid function is if there is a suspicion of hyperthyroidism or an overactive thyroid. Graves disease, a common cause of excess thyroid hormone in young women, causes bulging eyes and retraction of the eyelids. Thyroiditis, an infection of the thyroid gland caused by an autoimmune issue, may cause pain above the thyroid gland in the front of the neck.
