What is Triiodothyronine (T3)?

Triiodothyronine is measured as part of a thyroid panel. Your T3 (active thyroid hormone) is in the normal range.

What does a high Triiodothyronine mean?

Elevated T3 suggests hyperthyroidism — your thyroid is producing too much active hormone.

What does a low Triiodothyronine mean?

Low T3 can indicate hypothyroidism or a low-T3 syndrome seen in chronic illness. Often evaluated together with TSH and T4.

Understand your whole report, not just one number

A single value rarely tells the full story — Triiodothyronine is best read alongside the rest of your panel. Paste your values or upload your report and get a plain-English explanation of every marker, with the important results flagged.
