Also known as: TRIIODOTHYRONINE, TOTAL T3
Included
About the Test
T3, or total triiodothyronine, measures one of the two main thyroid hormones circulating in your blood, including both the bound and free forms. It helps assess how active your thyroid is and is often ordered alongside T4 and TSH when investigating an overactive or underactive thyroid. It is particularly useful for evaluating suspected hyperthyroidism, where T3 can rise even when other thyroid tests look borderline.
What is it? A blood test measuring total triiodothyronine, the thyroid hormone also known as total T3.

T3 test: purpose, preparation and results
Why take the T3 test?
- You have symptoms of an overactive thyroid such as palpitations, weight loss, or anxiety
- Your doctor is investigating a thyroid imbalance alongside TSH and T4
- You are monitoring a known thyroid condition or its treatment
How to prepare for the T3 test
No fasting is needed for a T3 test. If you take thyroid medication or biotin supplements, tell the collecting nurse and your doctor, since both can influence thyroid results. A DHA-licensed nurse collects a small blood sample at your home, office, or hotel in about 20 minutes.
Understanding your T3 results
A high total T3 can point to an overactive thyroid, while a low level may occur in an underactive thyroid or during other illnesses. Because total T3 is affected by protein levels and is best read with TSH and T4, discuss the complete thyroid picture with your doctor.

Total T3 measures all the hormone in your blood, both bound to proteins and free, while free T3 measures only the unbound, active portion. Your doctor chooses based on what they are investigating; sometimes both are ordered.
T3 is most informative alongside TSH and T4, which together show how your thyroid is functioning. Testing T3 alone gives limited context, so your doctor often orders it as part of a thyroid panel.
Yes. Biotin, found in many hair and nail supplements, can interfere with thyroid assays. Tell the nurse and your doctor about any supplements or thyroid medication so your result is interpreted correctly.
No fasting is required for T3. You can eat and drink normally beforehand unless your doctor has combined it with a separate fasting panel.
