Test details
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) - TSH is the preferred test for hypothyroidism screening and monitoring thyroid hormone therapy. See thyroid-stimulating hormone for more.
- Free T4 (thyroxine) - T4 is the main thyroid hormone secreted by the thyroid gland (∼ 100 mcg/day in an average size person). In peripheral tissues (e.g. liver, kidney, brain, skeletal muscle), T4 is converted to T3, a more potent form of thyroid hormone. Free T4, which is unbound to protein, is the active form of T4.
- Free T3 (triiodothyronine) - T3 is the most active form of thyroid hormone. T3 is 3 - 4 times more potent than T4. The thyroid gland secretes ∼ 6 mcg/day of T3 in an average size person. In peripheral tissues (e.g. kidney, brain, liver, skeletal muscle), T4 is converted to T3, producing ∼ 23 mcg/day. Free T3, which is unbound to protein, is the active form of T3.
- Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies - TPO antibodies are autoimmune antibodies formed against the thyroid peroxidase enzyme. The presence of TPO antibodies is a risk factor for autoimmune thyroiditis. See TPO antibodies and autoimmune thyroiditis for more.
- Reverse T3 - Reverse T3 is the biologically inactive form of T3. See reverse T3 for more.
