About Triiodothyronine Hormone T3 Test in Jackson
T3 is one of the two main hormones produced by the thyroid gland, the other being thyroxine (T4). While T4 is more abundant, T3 is the more biologically active form and affects nearly every cell in the body.
Most T3 in the blood is bound to proteins, but the unbound (free) portion is what actively affects tissues. The test can measure total T3 (bound and free) or free T3, depending on the lab method.
T3 levels are regulated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland. Abnormal T3 results can indicate hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, or other thyroid disorders.
Doctors may order a T3 test along with T4 and TSH to get a complete picture of thyroid function. It is also used to monitor treatment for thyroid conditions.
