What do we determine in a reverse T3 (rT3) blood test?
Reverse T3
T3 reverse is an inactive form of the T3 hormone. An underactive thyroid is a recognized problem in the population. If you were to go to the doctor with the symptoms of an underactive thyroid, you would have to do blood tests.Please note, you can only order this study for collection in The Hague. We are working hard on new locations for the rT3!
Most doctors then look at the amount of TSH and free T4. Usually reverse T3 (rT3) is not measured (T3 is often not measured either). Your body can produce rT3 to get rid of the excess (free) T4 If certain processes require more energy, the production of rT3, among other things, can increase. For example, due to biological stress or an active immune system. It may therefore be that your TSH is high-normal and your free T4 is normal. However, Reverse T3 abnormalities can predict other problems.
This test only measures reverse-T3. You can add the other thyroid tests to your order if desired and thus compile your own research.
