A member asked:
How do the free t3 (liothyronine) t4 differ from total t3 (liothyronine) t4 ? and which of them is more accurate in diagnosing thyroid issues along with the tsh test ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prefer the frees: Totals are cheaper but require a little interpretation. Both are accurate. Thyroid disease is often underappreciated and i'm glad you're being checked.
