T3/T4 Test
This test determines the concentration of triiodothyronine (T3) in your blood. T3 is one of two major hormones produced by your thyroid, a small, butterfly-shaped gland near your throat. The other hormone, thyroxine (T4) and T3 , work in tandem to control how your body uses energy. These hormones are also involved in regulating your weight, body temperature, muscle strength, and nervous system.
