What is Free Thyroxine (FREE T4)?

This test measures the active, unbound form of a key thyroid hormone called T4 in your blood. It helps assess how well your thyroid gland is functioning and producing hormones.

Why is this test important?

It is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring thyroid disorders like hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). Free T4 reflects the amount of hormone available for your body's tissues to use.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
