A member asked:
Which is more accurate in assessment of hypothyroidism ? free t3 (liothyronine) t4 or the total t3 (liothyronine) t4
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask Dr: I would want to see t3, (liothyronine) t4, and TSH - and compare the results with the clinical picture. A dr needs all of this (and more) to be accurate diagnostically. If you don't understand or agree with the diagnosis ask for an explanation.
