Lab values differ: Different labs have different values that they consider "normal", however the results you least appear to suggest low thyroid function (hypo) with possible pituitary malfunction...BUT YOU MUST ASK the Doctor who ordered the tests since they can ONLY be interpreted with the complete clinical picture/symptoms/physical examination Hope this helps Dr Z

Autoimmune: Hi. Those labs show normal thyroid function and elevated thyroid autoantibodies. This is called euthyroid Hashimoto's. You're at higher risk of developing hypothyroidism because of the autoimmune process, but so far your thyroid is holding its own. So neither hypo- nor hyper- at this time.
