Low t3 causes
Instructure
T4 binds more tightly to serum binding proteins than T3 resulting in a lower clearance rate and longer half life. (6-7 days for T4 vs. 1 day for T3). T4 is the major hormone. About 40% of the T4 is converted to T3 by a 5’-deiodinase present in many tissues of the body, especially liver, kidney and the anterior pituitary. T3 is more potent.

It causes low levels of T3 and high levels T4 and TSH. It can produce an enlarged thyroid and myxedema, which is edema in face, hands, and feet. The treatment is thyroxine tablets to decrease TSH levels and bring hormone levels back to regular.

A reduced (at the low limit or below normal) serum total or free T4 and a normal or slightly above normal TSH are also present. In cases with increase of T3 due to other causes, calculating the ratio of T3/rT3 is helpful in differentiating them from cases of MCT8 defects, in which the ratio will be above 10. Treatment

Loss of thyroid tissue leads to decreased production of TH (low T3 and T4), increased secretion of TSH, and goiter. Etiology – primary hypothyroidism can be due to: Congenital defects. Defective hormone synthesis resulting from autoimmune thyroiditis, endemic iodine deficiency, or antithyroid drugs

A person can have normal blood tests and still be thyroid-deficient because typical tests measure thyroxine (T4). T3 (triiodothyronine) affects cells most and is converted from T4. If conversion is impaired T3 will be low. This is not commonly measured via blood tests anymore due to poor accuracy (50%).

Serum T3 (free and total) is typically low during therapy. A paradoxically normal or high T3 is useful to support the diagnosis of Amiodarone-induced hyperthyroidism. Lithium can cause hypo- or hyperthyroidism in as many as 10% of lithium-treated patients, especially those with a …
