T4 is the main form of thyroid hormone circulating in the blood. A Total T4 measures the bound and free hormone and can change when binding proteins differ (see above). A Free T4 measures what is not bound and able to enter and affect the body tissues. Tests measuring free T4 – either a free T4 (FT4) or free T4 index
If the TSH level is low and the FT4 result is high this suggests an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism) that requires treatment. If the TSH level is slightly raised but the FT4 level is still within the normal reference range this is called subclinical hypothyroidism or mild thyroid failure.
3 Οκτ 2022 · What are normal free T4 levels? Normal levels of free T4 vary based on your age. In general, normal ranges of free T4 for healthy people include: Children up to 5 years old: 0.8 – 2.8 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL). Children 6 to 15 years old: 0.8 – 2.1 ng/dL. Adolescents assigned male at birth 16 to 17 years old: 0.8 – 2.8 ng/dL.
28 Απρ 2018 · Important points. Whilst free T3 (fT3) is measured, it is less relevant than free T4 (ft4).
5 Σεπ 2023 · Tests measuring free T4 – either a free T4 (FT4) or free T4 index (FTI) – more accurately reflect how the thyroid gland is functioning when checked with a TSH. The finding of an elevated TSH and low FT4 or FTI indicates primary hypothyroidism due to disease in the thyroid gland.
TSH levels are measured by a simple blood test that determines how much T4 the thyroid is being asked to make.1,3 The ranges below show where your TSH levels should be. Hyperthyroidism or suppressed TSH. 0.0-0.4. Normal range of TSH. 0.4-4.0. Mild hypothyroidism. 4.0-10.0. Hypothyroidism. 10+.
25 Ιουν 2024 · In thyroid function tests the thyroid hormone levels measured in your blood sample are compared against ‘reference ranges’ (or levels) which are meant to represent the range of readings found in 95% of the whole healthy population.
