The Free T3 test measures the amount of unbound (free) triiodothyronine in the blood. T3 is one of the two main hormones produced by the thyroid gland. Most T3 in the blood is attached to proteins, but only the free portion is biologically active and available for the body to use. This test focuses on that active fraction. This test is used to help evaluate thyroid function, particularly when thyroid disease is suspected. It is often ordered along with other thyroid tests, such as TSH and Free T4, to help assess conditions related to an overactive or underactive thyroid. Results are interpreted by a healthcare provider in the context of other tests and symptoms.

Guides about T3, Free

Plain-English explanations of what this test measures and how it's done.

What Do TSH, T3, and T4 Mean on a Thyroid Panel?
A thyroid panel usually reports three things: TSH, a signal from your pituitary gland, and T4 and T3, the two hormones the thyroid actually makes. TSH tells the thyroid how hard to work, so it often shifts before the hormone levels do. Read together, the three numbers show whether the gland and its control signal are in step.
What Blood Tests Relate to Autoimmune Conditions?
No single blood test diagnoses an autoimmune condition. Testing usually combines broad markers, such as an ANA test, CRP or ESR and a complete blood count, with antibody tests aimed at one organ, like thyroid peroxidase antibodies for the thyroid. Which tests make sense depends on symptoms, so the choice sits with a clinician.
