Free Triiodothyronine (ft3) Test measures the triiodothyronine (T3) level in blood. T3 is one of two major hormones your thyroid makes, a small, butterfly-shaped gland near the throat. The other hormones, thyroxine (T4.), T3 and T4, work together to regulate how your body uses energy.

These hormones also play an essential role in controlling:

  • Your weight
  • Body temperature
  • Muscle strength
  • Nervous system

                    Free triiodothyronine (ft3) is the active thyroid hormone that regulates the metabolic activity of cells. If your test result shows an imbalance in your free triiodothyronine (ft3), we strongly suggest you show your test result to your GP or healthcare provider.

                    We recommend using this test if you are experiencing one or more of the symptoms below.

                    Symptoms you may need a T3 test are:
