What is the FT4 test used for?

The FT4 test helps determine the amount of Thyroxine available for use by different tissues in the body. The free thyroxine test is done as a follow-up to get insights into the problems affecting the thyroid gland. This test is conducted when there are abnormal results from the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) test.

What is included in the FT4 test?

The FT4 blood test measures the amount of T4 that is not bound to the proteins in the body and is available for use. This will help ensure if the thyroid gland is functioning well or not. This test is conducted by a certified lab technician.

High levels of FT4 and low TSH can indicate that the thyroid is overactive – hyperthyroidism.
Low levels of FT4 and high TSH can indicate that the thyroid is not active enough – hypothyroidism.
Low levels of both FT4 and TSH can indicate that the pituitary gland is not active enough – hypopituitarism.

Procedure for FT4 test

The FT4 test is conducted to measure the thyroxine level and helps determine the functioning of the thyroid gland. This test can be done by everyone above the age of 5.

A blood sample will be collected from a vein for the test by a certified lab technician.
It is recommended to wear a loose, short-sleeved t-shirt or top for an easy sample collection.
Before the blood collection, an elastic or Velcro band will be tied to the upper arm to apply pressure. Then, the injection site will be cleaned with an antiseptic and the blood sample will be collected using a sterile syringe and stored in a test tube.
The blood sample will then be carefully stored in a case and taken to the lab for analysis. The band will be loosened, and the puncture site will be cleaned and covered with cotton or a small bandage to stop the excess bleeding.
You may feel slight discomfort and stinging when the needle is removed after collecting the blood sample.
The blood sample will be analyzed in our lab equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The blood test results will be available on the MFine app within 24-48 hours of blood collection.
