Serum T4

    Last Updated: January 25, 2024

    T4 (thyroxine) is one of the two hormone produced by the thyroid gland (along with T3; triiodothyronine). Both act on virtually every part of the body and their deficiency can have wide-reaching effects. "Serum T4" simply refers to the amount of T4 measured in the blood.
