Understanding Triiodothyronine Free in Thane


What is Triiodothyronine Free in Thane?

The Triiodothyronine Free test measures free triiodothyronine (T3) levels in the blood, a thyroid hormone essential for regulating the body's metabolism, growth, energy production, etc. This test is available at an affordable price in Thane with Tata 1mg labs. This test helps assess thyroid function, diagnose thyroid disorders such as hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), and monitor treatment effectiveness.

Your doctor may suggest the Triiodothyronine Free test if you exhibit symptoms suggestive of a thyroid dysfunction such as weakness, unexplained weight loss or gain, irregular menstrual cycle, changes in appetite, mood swings, sweating, etc. The Triiodothyronine Free test is done in combination with free T4 and TSH tests as part of a thyroid profile free test for more comprehensive evaluation of your thyroid gland. 

No fasting is required for this test. You can eat and drink normally as per your routine. However, if you are taking thyroid medication, you should continue to take it as prescribed by your doctor on the day of the test.

What does Triiodothyronine Free measure?

The Triiodothyronine Free test measures the levels of free triiodothyronine (T3), a hormone produced by the thyroid gland. T3 hormone plays a vital role in regulating the body's metabolism, energy levels, and growth & development. It exists in the blood in two forms: free T3 and bound T3. Only a small portion of T3 is free (not bound to proteins) and can be utilized by the body’s tissues. In contrast, more than 99% of T3 is bound to proteins, such as albumin and thyroid-binding globulin (TBG), preventing it from entering the tissues. The body balances bound and free T3 to ensure proper functioning.
