Basic Thyroid Test Markers The Basic Thyroid Function Test from GetTested offers a straightforward evaluation of your thyroid function by measuring TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone), fT3 (Free triiodothyronine), and fT4 (Free Thyroxine). Understanding TSH, FT3 and FT4 TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) TSH is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland. This hormone plays a crucial role in regulating the thyroid gland's activity. When the thyroid hormone levels in the blood are low, the pituitary gland releases more TSH. This is to stimulate the thyroid to produce and release more thyroid hormones. Conversely, when thyroid hormone levels are high, the pituitary gland reduces TSH production to decrease thyroid hormone production. Monitoring TSH levels helps assess the overall function of the thyroid gland and it is often the first test doctors perform when they suspect thyroid issues. fT3 (Free Triiodothyronine) fT3 represents the amount of circulating unbound triiodothyronine. It is a crucial thyroid hormone, as it plays a vital role in several physiological processes. Some of these processes include the regulation of the body's metabolism, heart rate, and body temperature. While fT4 is primarily converted into fT3 ( the active form of the hormone) directly assessing fT3 levels can offer insights into the functional status of the thyroid. This is especially true in cases where conversion of fT4 to fT3 may be impaired. fT4 (Free Thyroxine) fT4 is a form of thyroid hormone that circulates freely in the bloodstream. It is an essential component of thyroid function evaluation. Thyroxine is the main hormone the thyroid gland produces. It exists in two forms: bound to proteins or free (unbound). Free Thyroxine (fT4) represents the portion of thyroid hormone that is not bound to proteins and is available to perform its biological functions. Measuring fT4 levels helps assess the thyroid's ability to produce and regulate thyroid hormones properly.
