Clinical Significance

FT 4 should be determined in the following binding protein anomalies: congenital (familiar dysalbuminaemic, hyperthyroxinaemia, pre-albumin-associated hyperthyroxinaemia, congential TBG deficiency); physiological (pregnancy, perinatal state); drug-related (contraceptives, salicylates, heparin); NTI-non-thyroidal illness (chronic renal insufficiency, myocardial infarction, acute hepatitis, hepatic cirrhosis, anorexia nervosa, severe infections, postoperative and posttraumatic states). FT4 distinguishes euthyroid hyperthyroxinaemias from hyperthyroidism and euthyroid hypothyroxinaemias from hypothyroidism
