A member asked:

T4 total elevated means what?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: All lab results need to be evaluated in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the test is usually in the best position to do that. Total T4 alone is not a very good test. One needs, free T4 and TSH levels to provide a meaningful opinion.
