Frequently Asked Questions
Total T3 test is done along with T4 and TSH to
1. Diagnose thyroid disorders both overt & subclinical
2. Monitoring patients on thyroid replacement therapy
In a very small group of patients only T3 & FT3 is increased.
In pregnancy due to increase in thyroglobulin and decrease in albumin may cause increase of T3 & T4 levels, without actually impacting body functions hence testing FT3 and FT4 is more representative
Total T3 test measures levels of FT4 hormone in blood
Total T3 test requires a blood sample. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer.
