What is Free T3 & Free T4?

Measures the unbound (free) forms of thyroid hormones T3 and T4, providing a more accurate assessment of thyroid function than total T3/T4 levels.

Why is this test important?

Free hormones are the biologically active forms. Free T4 is the primary thyroid screening test alongside TSH. Free T3 is particularly useful in diagnosing T3 thyrotoxicosis.
