• FT3 (Free Triiodothyronine) Triiodothyronine (T3) is an active thyroid hormone. FT3 refers to the level of active T3. Elevated levels can be found in hyperthyroid conditions. Low levels can be a result of hypothyroid conditions and non-thyroid conditions.
• FT4 (Free Thyroxine) Thyroxine (T4) is the main hormone produced by the thyroid gland. FT4 measures the amount of T4 that is "free" and biologically active in the blood. High FT4 typically indicates hyperthyroidism, and low FT4 suggests hypothyroidism.
