Understanding T3 Reverse
What is T3 Reverse?
T3 (triiodothyronine) reverse is a blood test to examine the thyroid function when the T3 hormone in the body becomes inactive. The condition occurs because the T4 (thyroxine) hormone in the body cannot convert into active T3.
This test is prescribed by the doctor when the suspected patient suffers from low metabolism and other symptoms of hypothyroidism like hormone imbalances, constipation, snoring, swollen neck, puffy eyes, and poor memory.
