T4 (Total Thyroxine)
Increase:
- Hyperthyroidism
- Various thyroiditis
- Elevated serum TBG
Decrease:
- Primary or secondary hypothyroidism
- Decreased serum TBG
- Inhibition of T4 to T3 factors (low T3 syndrome)
The determination of serum or plasma levels of Thyroxine (T4) is recognized as an important measurement in the assessment of thyroid function. Thyroxine (T4) is one of two major hormones produced by the thyroid gland (the other is called triiodothyronine, or T3), T4 and T3 are regulated by a sensitive feedback system involving the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland. Approximately 99.97% of the T4 circulating in the blood is bound to plasma proteins: TBG (60-75%), TTR/TBPA (15-30%) and Albumin (~10%). Only 0.03% of circulating T4 is free (unbound) and biologically active. Total T4 is a useful marker for the diagnosis of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.
