A free triiodothyronine test, most commonly referred to as a T3 test, measures the level of a hormone called triiodothyronine in your blood. T3 is a hormone secreted by the thyroid glands and is important for the metabolism of your body including the heart rate and temperature. A T3 test is required in case of symptoms like anxiety, weight loss, low tolerance for heat, and trouble sleeping. This test is most often used to diagnose hyperthyroidism, a condition in which the body makes too much thyroid hormone. T3 test is performed with T4 and TSH tests to get a full picture of how your thyroid is functioning. Overnight fasting of 10-12 hours is advised before undergoing free triiodothyronine test.
Triiodothyronine (T3) is the active form of thyroid hormone, and a small portion of circulating T3 is present in its free form as FT3.
FT3 levels are measured through a blood test to evaluate the amount of active thyroid hormone available in the body. This measurement provides important information about thyroid function. Elevated FT3 levels may indicate hyperthyroidism, which is an overactive thyroid, characterized by symptoms such as weight loss, rapid heart rate, and heat intolerance. On the other hand, reduced FT3 levels may indicate hypothyroidism, an underactive thyroid condition associated with symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and depression.
Measuring FT3 levels, alongside other thyroid-related hormones such as free thyroxine (FT4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), helps healthcare professionals assess the function of the thyroid gland comprehensively.
Interpreting FT3 levels should be done by a healthcare professional who considers the individual's symptoms, medical history, and other relevant factors. Treatment options for abnormal FT3 levels may involve medication to regulate thyroid function and alleviate associated symptoms.
Regular monitoring of FT3 levels may be necessary to ensure optimal thyroid function and to adjust medication dosage, if required. It is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation, diagnosis, and management of thyroid disorders.
