Know more about this test
The Thyroxine - Free (FT4) determines the amount of free thyroxine (T4) hormone in the blood and is available in Howrah with Tata 1mg labs. T4 hormone is secreted by the thyroid gland and is essential for the body's growth and metabolism. It circulates in the blood in two forms: free form (FT4) and bound form.
Your doctor may suggest the Thyroxine - Free (FT4) test when symptoms of hyperthyroidism (increased appetite, rapid heartbeat, weight loss, vision changes, anxiety, and swelling and enlargement of the neck) or hypothyroidism (fatigue, weight gain, joint, and muscle pain, slowed heartbeat, or dry skin) are noticed. The test results, along with your symptoms, will help the doctor diagnose any suspected thyroid disease (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism) and monitor the treatment efficacy in people with known thyroid conditions
No special preparations are needed for the Thyroxine - Free (FT4) test. You may eat and drink as per your daily routine. On the day of the test, individuals on thyroid medications should take them at the time and dosage prescribed by their doctors.
