Many of them have low serum concentrations of both thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), and their serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) concentration also may be below. At present, low T3 syndrome (LT3S) associated with systemic inflammatory is consistent with the most reported among these conditions.3 LT3S is characterized by decreased serum total triiodothyronine (TT3) and serum-free triiodothyronine (FT3), normal or decreased serum total tetraiodothyronine (TT4), serum-free thyroxine (FT4), and increased reverse triiodothyronine (rT3).
