Why Book the FT4 Test?

The FT4 test, also known as the thyroxine test, is conducted to detect thyroid diseases such as Hypothyroidism or Hyperthyroidism in your body. In today's changing environment, thyroid disease has become pretty common, especially due to increasing pollution in metropolitan cities, affecting the thyroid glands.
A hormone known as thyroxine is naturally produced by your thyroid and is responsible for the functioning of several body parts, including metabolism and growth. Our healthcare professionals conduct the FT4 test in order to determine if you have any thyroid-related issues, which later can take a toll on your head.
The FT4 test is conducted by your healthcare professional to understand the problem showing adverse effects on your thyroid. Two reasons why this test is suggested are: during regular checkups, especially in pregnancy, and to monitor the treatment of thyroid disease, which perhaps helps to study the condition carefully.

The first thing that should be kept in mind is to inform your doctor about your medical history, the drugs you are consuming, as they might help them plan the treatment well and acquire accurate results.
Note, there are certain drugs or medications which boost the T4 levels; therefore, the chances are high that your healthcare provider will ask you to discontinue them till the day of the test. Some of these drugs are-

What do Abnormal Results Indicate?

The normal T4 range in adults can range from 0.9 to 1.9 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL). Free T4 levels vary in children according to age. Several conditions can be caused due to abnormal levels of Ft3, FT4, Tsh in the body. They are:
High levels of T4 and low TSH can indicate that the thyroid is overactive - hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the body produces higher thyroxine hormone levels than normal.
Low levels of FT4 and high TSH can indicate that the thyroid is not active enough - hypothyroidism. In hypothyroidism, the body fails to produce sufficient amounts of thyroxine hormones which causes health issues. This condition is difficult to detect in the early stages as there are almost no symptoms.
Thyroiditis is a condition where the thyroid glands get inflamed or swell up.
