    What is T3 - Free Test?

    The Free Triiodothyronine (Free T3) test measures the level of free T3 hormone in the blood, which is the active form of the thyroid hormone. T3 is responsible for regulating important body functions like metabolism, energy levels, heart rate, weight, and mood. Unlike the total T3 test, which includes both bound and free T3, the Free T3 test measures only the active form that your body can use. This test is crucial for diagnosing thyroid conditions, including hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), and evaluating overall thyroid health. Abnormal levels of free T3 may point to thyroid issues or other related disorders.

    A Free T3 test in Mumbai can provide essential information to help assess and manage thyroid function effectively.

    T3 - Free Test Parameters

    The Free T3 (FT3) test measures one parameter: the level of free T3 hormone present in the blood. This biologically active form of the T3 hormone is critical for metabolic regulation. Most T3 (99.7%) is bound to proteins and inactive, leaving only a small portion free. The FT3 test quantifies this unbound fraction to evaluate thyroid function. A regulatory feedback loop between the pituitary gland and thyroid ensures hormone balance. When T3 and T4 levels are low, TSH levels increase to stimulate production; when thyroid hormones are high, TSH levels drop. The FT3 test is especially useful for diagnosing hyperthyroidism, a condition resulting from excessive thyroid hormone activity, helping to identify and manage thyroid-related health concerns effectively.

    T3 - Free Test Preparation

    Before taking the Free T3 test in Mumbai, consider these factors:

    • Prerequisites: There’s no need to fast before undergoing the FT3 test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested: This test can be conducted at any time of the day.

    • Who Should Get a Free T3 Test: This test is recommended if you have symptoms of hyperthyroidism. It may also be advised for monitoring thyroid medication effectiveness or investigating abnormal TSH or T4 levels to confirm hyperthyroidism.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Free T3 test: The FT3 blood test doesn’t require special preparation. However, some medications or supplements may influence your results. Consult your doctor about pausing any treatments if necessary.
