Thyroid Test Price in Delhi — TSH, T3, T4 & Antibody Rates
Thyroid test prices in South Delhi: TSH from ₹300, thyroid profile (T3, T4, TSH) from ₹700, free profile from ₹900, anti-TPO from ₹1,000, thyroid ultrasound from ₹1,200. Home collection included and every report interpreted by Dr. Sanjay Sachdev (MBBS, MNAMS).
Screening with no symptoms: TSH. Symptoms present (fatigue, weight change, cold intolerance, hair loss, heavy periods, palpitations): TSH plus free T4. Raised TSH confirmed: add anti-TPO once. Planning pregnancy or pregnant: TSH plus free T4 with trimester-specific ranges. Neck swelling or nodule: ultrasound plus TSH. Buying the whole menu at once rarely changes the treatment.
Preparation that keeps the result usable
No fasting needed. Sample between 7 and 10 AM. Take thyroxine after the draw. Mention biotin supplements — they can falsely distort thyroid assays and force a repeat test. Report any recent steroid, amiodarone or iodine contrast exposure.
Annual cost of well-managed thyroid disease
Stable dose: two TSH checks a year (₹600–₹1,000) plus two consultations. After any dose change: one TSH plus free T4 at 6–8 weeks. Total annual testing rarely needs to exceed ₹2,500 — most of the cost patients report comes from repeating full profiles and ultrasounds that were never indicated.
Interpretation is the part that matters
Sub-clinical hypothyroidism (TSH 4–10, normal T4) is where most over-treatment happens. Dr. Sachdev factors in age, symptoms, antibody status, cholesterol, pregnancy plans and previous trends before starting or changing thyroxine — and writes the plan down so you know exactly when the next test is due.

Frequently asked
8 answers
What is the thyroid test price in Delhi?+
TSH alone costs ₹300–₹500. A thyroid profile (T3, T4, TSH) costs ₹700–₹1,100. A free thyroid profile (FT3, FT4, TSH) costs ₹900–₹1,400. Anti-TPO antibodies add ₹1,000–₹1,600 and thyroglobulin antibodies ₹1,200–₹1,800. A thyroid ultrasound is ₹1,200–₹1,800.
Should I do TSH alone or a full thyroid profile?+
For a first screening in someone without symptoms, TSH alone is enough and cheapest. If TSH is abnormal, or you have fatigue, weight change, hair loss, palpitations or infertility, the full profile (with free T4) is the right test. Anti-TPO is only worth its cost when TSH is raised and you need to know whether it is Hashimoto's — it changes the follow-up interval, not the starting dose.
Do I need to fast for a thyroid test?+
No fasting is required for TSH, T3, T4 or antibodies. Two things do matter: draw the sample in the morning (TSH is highest early and dips in the afternoon, which can hide mild hypothyroidism), and take your thyroxine tablet after the blood draw, not before.
How often should thyroid tests be repeated, and what does that cost per year?+
Stable hypothyroidism on a fixed dose: TSH once or twice a year — ₹600–₹1,000 annually. After a dose change: TSH plus free T4 at 6–8 weeks — about ₹900–₹1,400 per check. In pregnancy: every 4–6 weeks in the first half. Repeating a full profile every three months on a stable dose is money wasted.
Is a thyroid ultrasound needed with a blood test?+
Only if a nodule or swelling is felt, if you have compression symptoms, or if antibodies plus asymmetry raise a question. It costs ₹1,200–₹1,800. Routine annual ultrasound on normal thyroid function is not recommended and drives unnecessary biopsies.
Is home collection available for thyroid tests?+
Yes, and it is included in the price. A phlebotomist visits between 7 and 9 AM across South Delhi and Noida, which also gives the ideal early-morning sample timing for TSH.
Who interprets the thyroid report?+
Dr. Sanjay Sachdev (MBBS, MNAMS) reviews the result against your symptoms, medication timing, pregnancy plans and previous values, and gives a written dose or follow-up plan. Sub-clinical results — TSH 4–10 with normal T4 — need judgement, not a reflex prescription.
How much does thyroid treatment cost after diagnosis?+
Thyroxine is inexpensive — typically ₹120–₹300 a month depending on brand and dose. The real cost driver is over-testing and repeated specialist visits, which a structured follow-up plan avoids.
