Part Description
LP28551-7 Thyroxine free index
Free thyroxine index (FT4I, FTI) is calculated from total hormone (TT4) and any one of the thyroid hormone uptakes - see LOINCs 3050-2 (Triiodothyronine resin uptake, T3RU), 74794-9 (Thyroid hormone binding ratio, THBR), 74793-1 (Classic T-uptake), and 74795-6 (Total thyroxine binding capacity). It adjusts total hormone levels for the number of binding sites to provide a better picture of thyroid status than total hormone levels. Results may vary depending on which T-uptake is used. If that level of distinction is important, users should look to the associated T-uptake code. However, little reason exists to depend on a Free T4 index today now that Free T4 measures are widely available, accurate and more economical than measuring a T-uptake and a TT4.
