Question 1

what does a t4 level of 12.4 and a tsh level of 0.903 indicate?

Accepted Answer

Normal: That your thyroid is probably functioning normally.  Are you on estrogen which can somewhat elevate T4 level.

Question 2

my tsh level is at 1.098 and my t4 at 0.99 am i within normal range or should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Thyroid tests: 43 F My tsh level is at 1.098 and my t4 at 0.99 am I within normal range or should I be worried? ANS: Without knowing your detailed medical history and examining you I cannot help. Also need to know what are the normal values in the lab that did tests. Discuss with the team who ordered the tests.

Question 3

what does a normal tsh level with an elevated t4 level mean?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: The TSH is more accurate. A free T4 is more accurate than a t4, which can be affected by  many factors such as estrogen. Are you on any form of estrogen, bcp's etc?

Question 4

i have a tsh level of 0.05 but my t3 and t4 is normal. what is my problem?

Accepted Answer

Low  tsh: A tsh of0.05 is very low and is consistent with hyperthyroidism in which case the t4 and t3 would be elevated. A tsh of 0.5 would be within normal limits. In  cases of subclinical hyperthyroidism the tsh is low and the t4 and t3 are normal, as in your case. I recommend rechecking your tsh to be sure.  A thyroidologist or endocrinologist is best to evaluate your situation if your tsh is still low.

Question 5

my tsh level has been consistently rising from 1 to 6.43 over 3 years but my t4 level is 15. can this be causing my hypothyroid symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Hypothyroid: A TSH of 6 would typically represent hypothyroidism.  The job of a rising TSH is to keep thyroid hormones as close to normal as possible.

Question 6

i have a tsh level of 5.69 and just found out that my t4 level is 1.1. what does this mean? if my t3+t4 is normal then what could be the problem?

Accepted Answer

Check antibodies: Ask your doctor for a test called thyroid peroxidase antibodies. If it's high or positive, then you have autoimmune thyroid disease and will need thyroid replacement in the future, if not now depending on how you feel.

Question 7

is 5.08 tsh level is too high ? t4 free is normal but tsh is 5.08. also i am not gaining weight is it abnormal? i dont do anything to loose weight?

Accepted Answer

: 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. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, you are risk of becoming hypothyroid and some endocrinologist would put you on replacement medication to avoid a period of hormone deficiency.     Wish you good health!

Question 8

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 9

can a high tsh level but normal t4 cause hypothyroid symptoms or not?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Your symptoms may be from subtle hypothyroidism. Although your T4 is in the normal range, it may be lower than it was. Some people are sensitive to minor variations in t4. On the other hand, the symptoms of hypothyroid can be due to other things. Once you get treated with levothyroxine, you will know.

Question 10

my tsh level is 4.82 and t4 is .87 and chronic hives.  what do these levels mean and could the hives be related?

Accepted Answer

Possible: There are a few reports suggesting that thyroid disease may cause hives.   My feeling is that this is more suggestive of an autoimmune problem which accounts for about 30% of the cases of chronic hives.  You do need thyroid replacement however.,
