FT3 interpretation depends on TSH, FT4, symptoms and lab method.
Free Triiodothyronine (ft3) is a laboratory blood test. It is commonly used as a active thyroid hormone. The test measures the unbound active T3 fraction.
Doctors may also include it in hyperthyroid support assessments. The result should be read with the laboratory range, symptoms, medical history and other relevant results. The listed sample type is Blood (Serum).
A routine blood draw is low risk. You may feel a brief sting when the needle goes in, and some people notice temporary bruising, soreness or light-headedness afterwards. Fainting and infection are uncommon. The sample is collected at your home by a trained phlebotomist using sterile equipment, and the draw takes only a few minutes. If you feel unwell during or after collection, tell the phlebotomist or speak to your doctor.
Reference ranges vary by laboratory and method. Use the range printed on your final report. The information below is educational only. For Pune bookings, read this along with the city price, fasting note and home sample collection details on this page.
