What is THYROID FUNCTION TEST (FREE)?

This Thyroid Function Test specifically measures the 'free' forms of thyroid hormones (Free T3 and Free T4) along with Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH). Free hormones are the active forms available to your body's tissues.

Why is this test important?

Measuring free hormones provides a more accurate picture of thyroid function, especially when protein binding issues might affect total hormone levels. It's crucial for diagnosing and managing thyroid disorders like hypo- or hyperthyroidism.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
