This stands for thyroid function testing.

TFT's may be undertaken if a patient is suspected of suffering from hypothyroidism (a thyroid gland that is underactive), or hyperthyroidism (overactvie thyroid gland.

These conditions result in not enough, or too much, thyroid hormones in the blood- and this causes various symptoms depending on the type.
