What is T3?
Triiodothyronine, better known as T3, is a thyroid hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, body temperature, and heart function. It is produced in the thyroid gland and helps convert oxygen and calories into energy.
Why should you get T3 tested?
Testing T3 levels can be useful for people experiencing symptoms of thyroid dysfunction, such as unexplained weight changes, fatigue, or heart palpitations. It also aids in the diagnosis of conditions like hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
What does it indicate?
T3 levels provide insight into the health and functionality of the thyroid gland. It helps assess how well the thyroid gland is functioning and plays an essential role in diagnosing thyroid conditions.
What does a high T3 level mean?
A high level of T3 can indicate hyperthyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid gland produces too much hormone. This can cause symptoms such as weight loss, increased heart rate, anxiety, and insomnia.
What does a low T3 level mean?
A low T3 level may indicate hypothyroidism, where the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. This can lead to symptoms such as weight gain, fatigue, dry skin, and sensitivity to cold.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to what people usually want to know.
How does it work from order to result?
After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.
How quickly can I get tested?
Usually very quickly. Collection points typically have slots within a few days, sometimes even same-day. It depends on how busy the location is. For a few specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.
Do I need to book an appointment?
At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.
