What is the T3 uptake test?
T3 uptake is also known as T3 Resin Uptake (T3RU) or Thyroid Uptake. It estimates how much thyroid hormone-binding proteins are available in the blood through a calculation based on levels of T3 or T4 added to a patient’s blood specimen. It is rarely ordered anymore in favor of free T3 and free T4 levels.
