Free T3 CLIA Test CE

The Free Triiodothyronine (fT3) Chemiluminescence ImmunoAssay (CLIA) Test is a chemiluminescence-based immunoassay for the quantitative detection of free triiodothyronine in human serum or plasma (sodium heparin, K2EDTA, or K3EDTA) using the ALTA CLIAlyzer. 

Thyroid disease is very common on a global level and studies have shown that the prevalence of undiagnosed thyroid disorder is high. Thus, quantification of markers that reflect thyroid function is very important.

Testing of thyroid function commonly incorporates TSH testing along with a combination of T3, T4, fT3, and fT4 assays.

Generally, and depending on the status of the individual’s TSH concentration, elevated fT3 results may indicate hyperthyroidism, and low fT3 results may indicate hypothyroidism. Combining fT3 with other thyroid hormone results and any other necessary test results will help provide enough information for the healthcare provider to design a proper plan of care.

Reverse triiodothyronine (rT3)10 ng/mL

Interference

No significant interference was detected up to the concentrations mentioned below:
