Term Description

Resin & T3 added to patient serum. Proportion of tracer bound by solid matrix measured. Result for patient serum divided by that of reference serum to give ratio. This test has been replaced by thyroid hormone binding ratio test.

Part Description

LP15921-7   Triiodothyronine resin uptake (T3RU)
Thyroid hormone uptake ("T-uptake") assays provide information on the number of thyroid hormone binding sites, consisting primarily of thyroid binding globulin, thyroxine binding prealbumin and albumin. Since both T4 and T3 bind to these proteins, different assay formats have used either labeled T3 or T4 (the classic T3 resin uptake uses T3). Various T-uptake assays can differ in the units reported (and even the phenomena being measured), requiring mindfulness when selecting LOINC codes. Being used in the calculation of free T3 and free T4 index (FTI), the T-uptake variants also proliferate into variants of FTI. The classic T-uptake reported as % represents the proportion of labeled thyroid hormone (either T3 or T4) added to a sample that remains unbound (modern assays: use LOINC 74793-1; T3 resin uptake method: 3050-2). T-uptake reported as ratio of patient /control is known as thyroid hormone binding ratio, or THBR or T-uptake ratio (use LOINC 74794-9). T-uptake % and THBR generally are inversely proportional to the number of unoccupied thyroid hormone binding sites present. Alternative assay methods that report T-uptake as "T-uptake units" are described as being directly proportional to the total binding capacity (use LOINC 74795-6).

However, the major rationale for measuring the T-Uptake was to obtain a factor for estimating the free T4 (the biologically relevant fraction). Now that Free T4 measures are widely available, accurate and more economical than measuring a T-uptake AND a TT4 , use of the uptake has been discouraged by most experts. Canada has taken the position of not paying for T-uptake measures. Source: Regenstrief LOINC

Reference Information

Type Source Reference
Mapping Guidance Regenstrief Help The only purpose of the T3RU is to calcluate the thyroxine free index [LOINC: 32215-6], which has fallen out of favor because the Free T4 provides the information that is really needed and is more accurate and less expensive than the T3RU.
