Your doctor may suggest the Thyroxine - Total test if you exhibit symptoms suggestive of a thyroid dysfunction such as weakness, unexplained weight loss or gain, irregular menstrual cycle, changes in appetite, mood swings, sweating, etc. The Thyroxine - Total test is done in combination with total T3 and TSH tests as part of a thyroid profile total test for more comprehensive evaluation of your thyroid gland.
No fasting is required for this test. You can eat and drink normally as per your routine. However, if you are taking thyroid medication, you should continue to take it as prescribed by your doctor on the day of the test.
What does Thyroxine - Total measure?
The Thyroxine - Total test measures both the bound and unbound/free form of thyroxine (T4) hormone in the blood. T4 exists in the blood in two forms: bound (attached to proteins) and free (not attached to proteins). Most of the T4 circulating in the blood is bound to proteins and only a small part is free. It is necessary to maintain a fine balance of these forms to ensure the proper functioning of the body.
