This test is used to assess your thyroid hormone production. When T4 is released from the proteins that bind and carry it in the blood, it is free to convert to the more active thyroid hormone T3. Some health care providers prefer this test to the standard T4 blood test. ...
Objective: To evaluate the association of TSH, free T3 (FT3), free T4 (FT4), and conversion (FT3:FT4) ratio values with incident hypertension. Materials and methods: The study included data from participants of the ELSA-Brasil study without baseline hypertension. Serum TSH, FT4 and FT3 lev...
These programs include measurement of thyrotropin or total thyroxine (T4), or both, in dried blood samples. Measurement of total T4 is useful for detecting primary, secondary, and tertiary hypothyroidism, but gives false-positive results for subjects with abnormal concentrations of thyroxine-binding ...
Fasting blood was drawn to measure T3, T4, free T3, free T4 and TSH. Results The free T3 to free T4 ratio was lower in treated central hypothyroidism than in euthyroidism but was similar to treated primary hypothyroidism. Free T4 was higher in treated central and primary hypothyroidism than...

Primary hypothyroidism results in underproduction of T4 by the thyroid gland and consequently an abnormally low circulating fT4 concentration in the blood. Primary hyperthyroidism leads to excessive thyroid production on T4 and resulting elevated fT4 concentration. Total serum T4 concentrations are dependen...

During six consecutive weeks, four blood samples were obtained for each subject at two-week intervals. Serum TSH, free T3, and free T4 levels were measured by an immunoluminometric assay on a random-access analyzer. Results: The intra-individual/inter-individual biological variations (defined in...
The T4 or T3 tracer analogs, used in some FT4 or FT3 tests, may also bind to these autoantibodies, leading to spuriously high serum FT4 and FT3 results. Interference in thyroid hormones assays may thus cause a mismatch between clinical and biochemical data and lead to diagnostic dilemmas and...
Low thyroxine (T4) with normal thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is a well known condition in preterm (PT) infants. The establishment of T4 and freeT4 (FT4) values in filter paper dried blood spots in PT could provide useful information in the neonatal period.To study T4 and FT4 levels ...
