    What is T4 - Total Test?

    The Thyroxine T4 blood test evaluates the thyroid gland's function, which is critical in diagnosing various thyroid conditions. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland situated at the front of the neck. It plays a central role in the endocrine system, producing hormones that regulate how the body uses energy and influencing key functions such as temperature, weight, mood, heart rate, muscle strength, and growth in children.

    Thyroxine (T4) is one of the primary hormones produced by the thyroid gland, and this test measures its concentration in the blood. Variations in T4 levels—either too high or too low—can point to thyroid disorders like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. This test is crucial for effectively diagnosing and managing these health issues.

    T4 - Total Test Parameters

    The Thyroxine T4 test focuses on one specific measurement: the level of T4 hormone in your bloodstream.

    T4 is produced by the thyroid gland and works in tandem with T3 to regulate many of the body’s critical functions. These two hormones are collectively referred to as thyroid hormones.

    T4 is present in two different forms: ● Free T4 : The active form, responsible for direct tissue regulation. ● Bound T4 : Linked to proteins, temporarily inactive for tissue use.

    The Total T4 test evaluates both free and bound T4, offering a thorough insight into thyroxine levels in the body.

    • Hypothyroidism: Symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, cold sensitivity, slow heart rate, and depression.

    • Hyperthyroidism: Symptoms include weight loss, rapid heartbeat, sweating, anxiety, and goitre.

    Monitoring Thyroid Treatments: For patients on thyroid hormone therapy, the test monitors hormone levels to ensure proper treatment management.

    Screening in Newborns: The T4 test is vital for detecting congenital hypothyroidism, where the thyroid is underactive at birth.

    Evaluating Specific Conditions: It aids in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules, goitre, and pituitary or hypothalamic dysfunction, including central hypothyroidism.
