FT4 (Free Thyroxine 4) Blood Test in Chennai

A thyroxine test is qualified as a blood test that assists in diagnosing thyroid conditions. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your throat. It comprises hormones that regulate the process by which the body uses energy. As a result, these hormones not only affect your weight but also significantly impact your heart, body temperature, muscle strength, and mood. Also, it is seen that this disease affects children, too, affecting their growth drastically.

Why is it a necessary test for you?

Also known as T4, thyroxine is a type of thyroid hormone. A T4 test calculates and examines the level of T4 in your blood. Regardless of whether the levels are too high or too low, fluctuating thyroid hormones in the body alert your body as a sign of thyroid disease. Also, there is a high chance that these thyroxine levels can lead to other chronic illnesses. Thus, to prevent your body from becoming the hub of all kinds of diseases, it is better to conduct an FT4 blood test in Chennai and live a healthy and fit life.
