Feline Total Thyroxine (fTT4) Test Kit

Total thyroxine (fTT4) in cats, full name being total free thyroxine in cats (free thyroxine total), is an important indicator for evaluating the thyroid function of cats. It refers to the total amount of free thyroxine (thyroxine not bound to proteins) in the blood. fTT4 is usually measured through blood tests.

Clinical application:

· Diagnosis of Hyperthyroidism:

Hyperthyroidism is one of the common endocrine diseases in cats. An elevated fTT4 level is often an important indicator of hyperthyroidism. For example, when cats show symptoms such as weight loss, increased appetite, restlessness, and rapid heartbeat, testing fTT4 can help determine whether there is a problem of hyperthyroidism.

· Postoperative monitoring:

Postoperative infection is a common complication after surgery in animals. fSAA detection is helpful for the early diagnosis of postoperative infection. Changes in fSAA concentration at different time points can be used to detect postoperative infectious complications.

· Regular physical examination:

It can be used to detect cats that appear normal on the surface but have latent inflammation. Before other indicators show abnormalities, fSAA can increase rapidly in the early stage of inflammation and tissue damage, and can sensitively indicate abnormalities in the body, providing an important basis for the clinical judgment of early inflammation in the body, which is conducive to early detection and early treatment.
