TFT

Thyroid Function Tests (TFT)include TSH, T3, and T4. But did you know that T3 and T4 exist in two forms—Total (bound + free) and Free (unbound, active form)?

💡 Key Point: Free T3/T4 tests are more expensive but are only needed in special conditions where total levels may be misleading, such as:
✅ Patients on OCPs
✅ Pregnancy
✅ Nephrotic Syndrome
✅ Cirrhosis
✅ Malnutrition

Understanding when to order Free T3/T4 can save costs and improve diagnosis! 🩺💙
