About Thyroid Blood Testing | Thyroid Level Test in Mount Prospect
The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the neck that sets the pace of metabolism throughout the body.
It produces two principal hormones, thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which influence heart rate, body temperature, energy use, and many other processes.
Because most T4 and T3 circulate bound to carrier proteins, tests such as T3 uptake help estimate how much hormone is free to act on tissues rather than bound.
The T7 index is not a distinct hormone; it is a calculated value derived from T4 and T3 uptake that adjusts the T4 result for variations in binding proteins, offering a clearer view of thyroid status.
