Free Thyroid Function Test (FTFT) report format

( with interpretation )

A Free Thyroid Function Test (FTFT) is a blood test that specifically measures the levels of Free Thyroxine (FT4) and Free Triiodothyronine (FT3) in the blood. Unlike total thyroid hormone tests, which measure both bound and free hormones, the FTFT focuses on the unbound, active forms of these thyroid hormones. These tests are crucial for assessing thyroid gland function and diagnosing conditions like hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). By evaluating FT4 and FT3 levels, healthcare providers can better understand thyroid health and tailor treatment plans to manage thyroid disorders effectively.

FTFT Interpretation

In Labsmart software, this is the inbuilt interpretation for Free Thyroid Function Test (FTFT)

FT4 is a direct measure of the free T4 hormone concentration (biologically available hormone).

Increased in Decreased in
Hyperthyroidism, nonthyroidal illness, especially psychiatric.
Drugs: amiodarone, β-blockers (high-dose).
Hypothyroidism, nonthyroidal illness.
Drugs: phenytoin.

The free thyroxine is used along with sensitive TSH assays for detecting clinical hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. The TSH assay detects subclinical thyroid dysfunction (normal FT4) and monitors levothyroxine treatment better, whereas the free thyroxine test detects central hypothyroidism and monitors rapidly changing function status better.
i.   Elevated Free T3 and Free T4 with Low TSH: This often indicates hyperthyroidism, where the thyroid gland is overactive.
ii.  Low Free T3 and Free T4 with Elevated TSH: This usually points to hypothyroidism, where the thyroid gland is underactive.
iii. Normal Free T3 and Free T4 with Normal TSH: This suggests that the thyroid is functioning normally.
iv. Normal Free T3 and Free T4 with High TSH: This could indicate subclinical hypothyroidism, where the thyroid is slightly underactive but not enough to cause obvious symptoms.

Each individual's situation can be unique, so it's always best to discuss test results with a healthcare provider to get a complete understanding in the context of your overall health.

Importance of adding interpretation to reports:

It's very helpful to add interpretation in reports as it makes the reports more patient friendly and also helpful to doctors in some cases. Moreover, presently most labs prefer providing reports with interpretation. Thus, adding interpretation to report will help your lab stay at par with other competitor labs.
