Question 1

my tsh value is9.88.at the same time t4 ws normal.next month when i checked t4 became low.whats d exact reason for it?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid deficiency: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, In all likelihood you have under-active thyroid gland and need to take thyroid medication. You should see your doctor for a prescription.

Question 2

tsh is .35 ( low ) but t4 free is 1.03 ( normal ) should i get more blood work ?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, TSH should be repeated because 0.35 is not that low along with free T3 for ruling out T3 thyrotoxicosis if you have symptoms of thyrotoxicosis. Good luck.

Question 3

mildly elevated cpk and sed low iron abnml tsh but free t4 normal what does all this mean?

Accepted Answer

Not enough info: How high is the tsh? Any anemia? Other health issues?  Any other health history, physical or lab findings? Please provide more info.

Question 4

what do i do if my tsh levels are normal, but my free t4 is low, and i am having hypothyroid symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Central hypothyroid: Free T4 assays can sometimes be unreliable and you and your physician will be better off if you have your total T4 measured instead along with T3 (liothyronine) update to calculate what we call free thyroid index. If you have symptoms of hypothyroidism and your T4 remain level despite normal TSH then you may have a type of hypothyroidism called central hypothyroidism (your pituitary hormones should be checked).

Question 5

my t3 levels have been low consistently, tsh normal, t4 on the high end of normal. is the low t3 anything to be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

Hypothyroid and T3: If the TSH is normal, then that is strong evidence that you are normal.  Pituitary TSH responds mostly to T3.  If you T3 were too low, the TSH should be high.  Indeed, I am not sure why T3 is being measured.  There are more problems with the T3 assay than that of T4. This could just be "lab error".

Question 6

my wife's free t3&t4 in normal range but her ths is low, it's 0.04. she've been taking thyroxine sodium 175mg for the past 6 months any recomandation?

Accepted Answer

TSH: She may be subclinical hyperthyroid.  Does she have symptoms of hyperthyroidism?Anxiety, increased heart rate, insomnia?  Make sure she gets her thyroid panel checked again.  Depending on the results and her symptoms, her physician make readjust the strength down.  It takes time to get individuals level.

Question 7

my tsh level was high 17, t3 and t4 level were low before 8 months ago. i didn't use any medications. now my tsh is 1.8, and t3 and t4 are normal . why it happen ? is it possible ?

Accepted Answer

It is possible.: If your diet changed meaning that you got  iodine  or more iodine in your diet through the food or salt you eat.

Question 8

my tsh levels are normal, but my free t4 is low...hypothyroidism?

Accepted Answer

Pituitary evaluation: If the TSH is normal, it means that you do not have primary hypothyroidism.  However, you could still have secondary hypothyroidism because of a pituitary problem.  You should see an endocrinologist for further evaluation.

Question 9

my t4 levels were low(3.8) but my tsh levels(1.95) were normal. is my thyroid test normal?

Accepted Answer

Likely: All lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the test is usually in the best position to do that. The info you provided does not suggest a thyroid disorder.

Question 10

what does low tsh 0.2 with normal free t4 mean?what is its treatment and does it need to be taken all life long?

Accepted Answer

Likely normal: Your TSH may be slightly low and may be normal for you. Do you have any symptoms? It is generally not a good idea to treat lab values. All lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. It is likely that you need no treatment, however, it would be prudent to follow your doctor's advice for follow up tests.
