    What is Blood Sugar Test?

    A Triiodothyronine (T3) test evaluates the total amount of T3 hormone in your blood and is commonly used to diagnose thyroid-related disorders. The thyroid, located at the base of your neck and shaped like a butterfly, produces two vital hormones: T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). These hormones travel through the bloodstream and play a key role in regulating energy usage, weight, heart function, body temperature, muscle strength, and mood. In children, they are also critical for healthy growth.

    T3 appears in two forms in the blood: free T3, which is active and accessible to tissues, and bound T3, which is attached to proteins and inactive for a time. The majority of T3 in the body is in the bound form. To measure T3 levels, two types of tests are performed. The Total T3 test examines both free and bound T3 for a comprehensive view, while the free T3 test specifically measures the active hormone.

    For those monitoring their thyroid health, arranging a Triiodothyronine (T3) test in Gurgaon offers a reliable and convenient way to gain insights into thyroid function.

    Blood Sugar Test Parameters

    The Total T3 test is specific to one measurement: the total T3 hormone level in your bloodstream.

    T3 is a primary hormone produced by the thyroid gland, functioning in coordination with T4, often called "thyroid hormone." While the thyroid directly produces a small amount of T3, most of it is derived from the conversion of T4 into T3 by organs such as the liver and kidneys. As the active thyroid hormone, T3 influences key body functions, including metabolism, cardiovascular and digestive health, muscle performance, brain development, and bone maintenance. T4, on the other hand, is its inactive precursor. A balanced and functional T3 level is crucial for ensuring the thyroid operates effectively.
