Healthcare providers test T3 levels using blood tests. Triiodothyronine comes in two forms: Free T3: This form enters your body’s tissues where it's needed. Bound T3: This form attaches to proteins, which prevents it from entering your body’s tissues. Because of this, there are a few different tests that measure T3 levels.
