is a tsh level of 3.81 normal?

Accepted Answer

Depends: On who you ask.  Most lab reports show normal as being 0.5 - 5 mlu/l, but many people feel the range should be 0.3 - 3.  If you are being treated for hypothyroidism, the ideal range is 1 -2.  I usually start to take notice when someone's TSH is >2.5.
