If you need a thyroid test in Pakistan, the price depends on the laboratory you choose and on exactly which part of the thyroid test you need. Some laboratories charge separately for TSH, T3 and T4, while others offer a combined thyroid profile panel, so the figures are not always like-for-like. This comparison brings together the thyroid test prices listed by the major laboratories in Pakistan, with each component and each panel shown as its own row, so you can compare properly before you book. Prices below are as listed in November 2026 and may vary by branch or city, so it is always worth confirming the current charge with the laboratory before you visit.
Thyroid Test Price Comparison in Pakistan
The table below lists each laboratory’s thyroid entries exactly as they are named on its own price list, except for Chughtai Lab, where the official rates are used as explained in the note below the table. A panel price covers the group of tests named in its row and is not the same as the price of a single test, so panels and single tests are never merged here. Aga Khan University Hospital is included without a number, as explained below the table.

Note on the Chughtai Lab figures: Chughtai Lab’s own official test search (chughtailab.com/tests) gives higher rates than the Chughtai list page on this site for most thyroid entries, so the table above uses the official rates and the differences are flagged here. Official rates, with the site-list values in brackets, are: Serum TSH PKR 2,000 [1,700]; Serum Free T3 PKR 3,000 [2,600]; Serum Free T4 PKR 3,000 [2,500]; Serum Total T3 PKR 1,800 [1,500]; Serum Total T4 PKR 1,800 [1,500]; Thyroid Function Test-1 (FT3, FT4, TSH) PKR 6,500 [5,000]; Thyroid Function Test-2 (T3, T4, TSH) PKR 5,000 [3,900]; and Extended Thyroid Profile PKR 9,800, which matches the site list. Please confirm the current rate with Chughtai Lab before booking.
Price Summary
Across all rows in the table, prices run from PKR 660 to PKR 9,800. The lowest figure is Dow Lab’s Serum TSH at PKR 660, and the highest is Chughtai Lab’s Extended Thyroid Profile panel at PKR 9,800. Single TSH rows alone range from PKR 660 at Dow Lab to PKR 2,000 at Chughtai Lab and IDC. For the combined panels, the TFT-style panels range from PKR 1,890 for Dow Lab’s Thyroid Profile Test to PKR 6,500 for Chughtai Lab’s Thyroid Function Test-1, while Ibn-E-Sina’s Thyroid Profile panel sits at PKR 2,800 and Khan Lab’s TFT at PKR 2,880. Because a panel bundles several tests, a panel price will naturally be higher than a single-test price, so compare panels with panels and single tests with single tests. The exact entry name matters too: Alnoor, for example, lists two separate TSH entries at PKR 1,700 and PKR 1,300, and those are kept as separate rows rather than merged.
What Do TSH, T3 and T4 Mean?
The thyroid is a small gland in the front of the neck that makes hormones which help control how the body uses energy. The main thyroid hormones are thyroxine, called T4, and triiodothyronine, called T3. TSH, or thyroid stimulating hormone, is made by the pituitary gland in the brain and tells the thyroid how much hormone to make. In simple terms, when thyroid hormone levels fall, TSH usually rises to push the thyroid to make more, and when thyroid hormone levels are high, TSH usually falls. A thyroid test therefore often measures TSH together with T3 and T4, because the combination gives a fuller picture than any one value on its own.
The terms free and total describe different ways of measuring the hormones. Free T3 and Free T4 measure the portion of the hormone that is not bound to proteins in the blood and is available for the body to use, while Total T3 and Total T4 measure all of the hormone, bound and unbound together. Laboratories list these as separate tests at separate prices, which is why they appear as separate rows in the table above. A thyroid profile or thyroid function test panel bundles several of these measurements into one booking.
When the thyroid is overactive, it makes too much thyroid hormone, and the body can run faster than usual. When it is underactive, it makes too little thyroid hormone, and the body can slow down. These are general descriptions only: the test results, together with a doctor’s assessment, are what show whether a person’s thyroid is overactive, underactive, or working normally.
When Do Doctors Order Thyroid Tests?
Doctors may order thyroid tests when they suspect the thyroid is overactive or underactive, when checking a known thyroid condition, or when following up treatment. Thyroid tests are also commonly ordered together with other routine blood tests, as general information: for example, people having thyroid tests may also be having an HbA1c test or a Vitamin D test at the same time. That is stated neutrally as general information only, not as a claim about any laboratory’s practice. The reason for ordering any test, and what the result means for you, is a matter for your doctor.
Symptoms, in General Terms Only
Thyroid problems are sometimes discussed alongside general symptoms such as tiredness, weight change, and feeling unusually cold or unusually hot. These symptoms are general information only and are common to many different conditions, so they do not on their own show that a person has a thyroid problem. Only testing, together with a doctor’s assessment, can confirm whether the thyroid is involved. If you have symptoms that worry you, speak to a doctor rather than trying to diagnose yourself from a price list or a single test result.
Preparation for a Thyroid Test
Preparation for a thyroid test is generally straightforward. It is a blood test, so a small blood sample is taken, usually from a vein in the arm. No specific fasting or timing claim is made here: follow your laboratory’s or your doctor’s advice for your own appointment. Some medicines can affect thyroid test results, so tell your lab and your doctor about your medicines when you book and when you attend; this post gives no specific drug advice, and you should not stop or change any medicine on the basis of general information. If you are unsure about anything, ask the laboratory when you book.
Thyroid Reference Ranges: A General Guide
Reference ranges for thyroid tests are general guides only, and they differ between laboratories, methods, age groups, and individual circumstances. As a very general guide, many laboratories report TSH roughly around 0.4 to 4.0 mIU/L, Free T4 roughly around 0.8 to 1.8 ng/dL, and Free T3 roughly around 2.3 to 4.2 pg/mL, but these figures are given only as general background and are not a standard that applies to every laboratory or every person. Your laboratory’s own reference range, printed on your report, is the one that applies to your result, and your doctor is the right person to interpret it, taking your history, medicines, and other findings into account. Do not try to diagnose yourself from a single number.
Getting Your Thyroid Report
Reports are generally collected from the laboratory where the test was done, either in person or through that laboratory’s online report service, where one is offered. This post does not state a report time for any individual laboratory, because turnaround can vary. Use the laboratory’s own report pages linked below to find its current report service, and keep your receipt or booking reference ready when you check. If your result is needed urgently, tell the laboratory when you book so it can advise you directly.

- IDC online reports
- Dow Lab online reports
- Alnoor online reports
- Ibn-E-Sina online reports

How to Choose a Lab for a Thyroid Test
Price is only one part of the choice. Before booking, check whether you need a single test, such as TSH alone, or a panel, and match the exact entry name the laboratory has listed, so you are comparing the same thing. Location and branch, sample collection options, report access, and how quickly you need the result may all matter as much as the price. It can also help to ask the laboratory whether the quoted price includes everything or whether any collection or additional charge applies. This comparison does not declare any laboratory the best: the right choice depends on your own circumstances, your doctor’s advice, and the practical details that matter to you. Where a price is not publicly listed, as with Aga Khan University Hospital here, contact the hospital directly for its current charge.
Where These Prices Come From
Each price in the table comes from that laboratory’s own list page on this site, except for the Chughtai Lab figures, which use the official Chughtai Lab rate as flagged above, and the Aga Khan entry, for which no figure is used. The source pages are:
- Chughtai Lab test list
- Islamabad Diagnostic Centre (IDC) test list
- Dow Lab test list
- Khan Lab test list
- Alnoor Diagnostic Centre test list
- Ibn-E-Sina Clinical Laboratory test list
Dr. Essa Laboratory is not included in the table because no thyroid entry could be found on its list page on this site at the time of writing. That does not mean the laboratory never offers thyroid testing; it means no price from its list page could be verified for this comparison, so none is shown rather than guessed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a thyroid test?
A thyroid test is a blood test that measures thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and TSH, the hormone that signals the thyroid to make them. Doctors use the results, often together, to check whether the thyroid is working normally, is overactive, or is underactive.
What is the difference between TSH, T3 and T4?
TSH is the signal from the pituitary gland that tells the thyroid how much hormone to make. T4 and T3 are the thyroid hormones themselves. Free T3 and Free T4 measure the unbound, usable portion, while Total T3 and Total T4 measure all of the hormone together. Panels bundle several of these into one booking.
How much does a thyroid test cost in Pakistan?
In the table above, prices run from PKR 660 to PKR 9,800. Single TSH rows range from PKR 660 to PKR 2,000, and panels range from PKR 1,890 to PKR 9,800, depending on which tests the panel includes. Prices are as listed in November 2026 and may vary by branch or city.
Do I need to prepare, or tell the lab about my medicines?
Follow your laboratory’s or your doctor’s advice for your own appointment. Some medicines can affect thyroid results, so tell your lab and your doctor about your medicines. This post gives no specific drug advice, and you should not stop or change any medicine on the basis of general information.
What does my thyroid result mean?
Reference ranges vary by laboratory, and a single number does not give a diagnosis on its own. Your doctor interprets your result with your history, medicines, and other findings. This post is general information only and is not medical advice.
