FREE THYROXINE (FT4)
What does FREE THYROXINE (FT4) measure?
The Free Thyroxine (FT4) test measures the level of free thyroxine, a thyroid hormone circulating in the blood that helps regulate metabolism and energy use. It may be used along with other thyroid tests, such as TSH, to evaluate thyroid function, investigate suspected hormone imbalance, or monitor certain thyroid-related conditions. Results are interpreted in the context of other test findings and clinical information.
