Free Thyroxine (fT4) Home Health Test Kit - Blood Spot


Use the above tabs for extended information on this product.

free thy·rox·ine

Free Thyroxine (fT4) and another hormone called triiodothyronine (T3) are produced by the thyroid gland. They help control the rate at which the body uses energy and are regulated by a feedback system. TSH stimulates the production and release of T4 (primarily) and T3 from the thyroid gland.

Most of the T4 and T3 circulates in the blood bound to protein, while a small percentage is free, meaning not bound. Blood tests can measure total T4, free T4, total T3, or free T3. The total T4 test has been used for many years, but it can be affected by the amount of protein available in the blood to bind to the hormone. Free T4 is not affected by protein levels and is the active form of thyroxine. The free T4 test is thought by many to be a more accurate reflection of thyroid hormone function and, in most cases, its use has replaced that of the total T4 test.

Your blood spot samples will test: Free Thyroxine (fT4) levels.
